Re: 2023 US Tour

Henry, what a wonderful review! I love it :D I certainly wish that you and I had connected somehow at the NYC concert. Thanks Surpinto, likewise, it seems we missed each other again as was the last time in St Paul. It didn't help either that I had a rushed itinerary and only stayed one night. But l...

2023 NYC Concert Review

Coming to the NYC concert, my first since their 2019 US tour, I honestly didn’t expect too much. Of course, I wasn’t ignorant of the exceptional singers who were merely nine or ten years old four years ago. But, I thought the group would be put back by the Covid disruptions, the passing of Mr Prizem...

Re: 2019 US Summer Tour

My impression of the Saint Paul concert on July 26 - (please correct me for any mistakes in memory) On a hot and humid summer evening, many hundreds packed into the tightly-spaced pews of the Cathedral of St. Paul. Some took advantage of the remaining daylight to explore the century-old sanctuary, u...

Re: Subtitles/Translations for Libera Videos on YouTube

Although it's sometimes not so easy to deliver a proper translation, when words in English are left out or when the lyrics are very poetic. So sometimes you have some own interpretion of the words going along with it, but I don't think that this is a problem, as long as the translation remains clos...

Re: Hello from the Netherlands!

Welcome, Simone! I'm happy that you also like Venite Adoremus. The song feels outside of this world, as if the voices are traveling through space. I know how it feels to not be able to go to a concert, but when it does happen and you finally see them for the first time, you will have an unforgettabl...

Re: Subtitles/Translations for Libera Videos on YouTube

Even if someone only make the English captions, it may help non-English speakers create translations of other languages. Yes, our top priority is to add captions for English (United Kingdom) because any subsequent translations can use the same text timings. It will save a lot of work for translator...

Subtitles/Translations for Libera Videos on YouTube

Calling Libera fans and supporters around the world! There is another way to help Libera, right from your computer - contributing subtitles and translations to the official video uploads. The subtitles help people follow along with lyrics, and perhaps more so for non-English speakers, understand wha...

Re: Your Song on Repeat (Past & Present)

Nice topic and really interesting responses here from everyone! In the past, I loved Sing for Ever (Eternal) and When a Knight Won His Spurs (Free) for their smooth harmonies. Now I can loop Venite Adoramus over and over because of its meditative qualities. I fly a lot and it helps me get some rest ...

Re: 2018 US Summer Tour

It's the middle of the night now but I'm so excited that the recording, in decent quality, is finally published for fans around the world! :D I truly hope that many others may stumble upon the wonderful music of Libera as they search for this hymn. Libera deserves a much greater following given its ...

Re: 2018 US Summer Tour

It's hard to believe it, but I actually made it to St. Ignatius - for the second half at least! I will put my story in another post as it's not exactly on topic (feel free to share your crazy Libera travel stories there also.) Below is my review of the concert, typed up during late nights after work...

Re: 2018 US Summer Tour

Libera's concert in Plano was phenomenal! This is my third concert since San Antonio 2015 and Tulsa 2017, and it's certainly surpassed my highest expectations! Excellent! :D I remember when you posted about your first concerts and how glad you were to have attended. It sounds like this concert was ...

Libera's concert in Plano was phenomenal! This is my third concert since San Antonio 2015 and Tulsa 2017, and it's certainly surpassed my highest expectations! First of all, as many of you mentioned previously, this batch of singers is very, very talented. We have the "veterans" such as Al...

Re: South Korea Tour 2016

I've visited Qingdao, China several times in the past decade. It's one of the cleanest cities in China and the native residents are mostly very nice people. It used to be a German colony, and so many residents tend to be interested about European cultures. The German-built Catholic cathedral in the ...

Re: New Compilation

The album is available on U.S. Amazon as well. For about $8, this makes collecting early Libera music affordable. No need to look for those rare used copies of Angel Voices 1/2/3 CDs! The MP3 album of Angel Voices 3 is also reduced to $2 . Interesting how every song is labeled "clean," ex...

Re: Santa.....

As a young Libera supporter (born in the 90s), I'm quite in favor of Mr. Prizeman's decision of releasing "Santa." Though we don't see the full results yet, the song will more or less attract many listeners from my generation (or younger) to Libera. Of course, we all know that "Santa&...
