Corau'n Canu Gwerin / Welsh Choirs Sing Folk

Inside the image.

A square album cover shows a seascape beneath a dramatic, clouded sky. The horizon runs across the upper third, separating a pale, silvery blue sea from layered dark blue-grey clouds. A small opening of warm peach and muted gold light appears in the clouds near the centre. The water is softly blurred into horizontal bands, with a few dark rocks breaking the surface: a small one at the far left, a larger low rock just left of centre, and several larger, uneven rocks across the lower-left and lower-right foreground. Their dark, wet-looking surfaces contrast with the smooth, misty water. The largest foreground rocks are partly cut off by the bottom and left edges, giving the view a close, low vantage point; the distant water and sky remain open and spare.

Three groups of centred lettering sit over the photograph. Near the top, the title “Corau ’n Canu Gwerin” appears in tall, fine white lettering, with a subtle dark edge or shadow that helps it stand out against the clouds and sea. Directly below, “WELSH CHOIRS SING FOLK” is set in much larger, bold, gold-toned capitals with a dark outline or shadow, spanning most of the cover. Near the bottom, over the darker rocks, a small line in white capitals reads “CANEUON TRADDODIADOL CYMRAEG”. Beneath it are two centred gold-toned lines, “TRADITIONAL SONGS OF WALES” and “SUNG BY LEADING WELSH MALE CHOIRS”, in smaller capitals. The typography is cleanly layered over the image without a separate text panel or border.

The cover has a photographic appearance. Its subdued blue-grey palette is punctuated by the warm light in the clouds and the gold lettering. Soft, even light and the smoothed surface of the water contrast with the irregular, visibly textured rocks. The image fills the square frame edge to edge.
