Not really a Notion question, but I hope you don't mind. I'm writing a piece and not sure what to call it. I found another piece which are called "Call to remembrance", and I really liked that. But what is the meaning of those words?
Any suggestions?

Re: Meaning of a title
What is the piece trying to say? Answer that and a title will come pretty easily.

Re: Meaning of a title
Mrarnesen,
A Google search suggests that the composer is quoting the bible. This is from kingjamesbibleonline.org :
2 Timothy 1:5:
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
- King James Bible "Authorized Version", Pure Cambridge Edition
The site also gives other English translations of the passage, where the phrase is given as "being mindful of" or other similar terms. Your forum name seems to indicate that you may be Norwegian — just a guess: Although my Norwegian is a bit rusty, I think the title might translate as something like "Ihukommelse."
Best wishes,
Thorrild

To be honest it's not really trying to say something, but to create or give something. A state of inner calm. Maybe it's not a good title after all. What do you think of the title "Calma"? Which means something like peace and stillness.

Thanks, maybe not what I was thinking of with the piece. It was just so poetic I think i'll go for Calma.

Semantics aside, all music communicates (at least it should). This piece is trying to communicate peace and stillness? Well, you already have something to go off. Now try to come up with a more 'interesting' word or set of words. But yeah, Calma is great. But don't be afraid to tweak it.

I think i'm happy with Calma I don't want say too much with a too specific title, but let people get their own ideas about the piece, tailored to each individual's life.
