I often use:

\paper {
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
    " "
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:runningTitle
    \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
  }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
    \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:runningTitle
    " "
  }
}

then have in the header block something like:

runningTitle = \markup{ A.Composer: \italic {A Short Title} }


If you just want to reuse the title as is, then replace 'header:runningTitle' 
with 'header:title' in the paper block.

Best wishes,
