Re: If (Music Video)

Welcome back, Paul :) Good to see you post again and I hope you’re doing well. Many of the themes I saw in the video have already been described. To me, it gave a more general sense of memories fleeting, though they are captured - a tension between the inevitable passage of time and a wish to hang o...

Filming ‘If’

Edit: thanks to Aoba on Twitter for finding this news :) A series of photos from the filming of ‘If’ the music video is online: https://libera.org.uk/gallery/filming-if/ Looks like they had a lot of fun :) Just a small group of boys. Some new faces that I can’t remember the names of. Daniel sure is ...

Re: Which are your most touching Libera songs?

Do Not Stand - it is connected to the loss of my grandmother, my mother and my best friend. I will always remember Ralph singing this in Arundel. Faithful Heart - again connected to my best friend, in particular to the time when we were lovers If and Dreaming of Home also usually stir up deep emotio...

Re: Other Choirs, Singers, Musicians that you like

Recently I started listening to Sela, a Dutch Christian band with a very rich and diverse sound. They have many beautiful songs but today I want to share this one. I love the orchestration and the melody could even be turned into a Libera song, I think. I am also sharing it because of the message of...

How nice to see these and be reminded of that special night in December!
For some reason I like the black and white photos in particular.
And Victor always has a smile ready, even in such trying circumstances. Wonderful :)

Re: Which Libera songs comfort you in the most complete way?

Nice question! The first song that comes to mind is Wexford Carol . That one always makes me feel like lying down in a sunlit meadow, completely at peace. Especially when Tadhg sings the solo. And a song that usually fills me with warm rich feelings is the song they did for the Japanese TV series in...

Re: St John's Smith SQ Christmas Concert 2020 (Dec 6)

"...we are performing this shortened concert twice today with this second one being streamed to perhaps an even larger audience all across the world..." Makes perfect sense. Thanks, John. It sounded to my ears like " the second one", like a separate occasion... that's where the ...

Re: St John's Smith SQ Christmas Concert 2020 (Dec 6)

I am very sure Nathan *was* there though, judging from the hair 😉 I believe you refer to NathanIEL, I was speaking of Nathan Slater, mini-boy, little guy. Thanks for clearing that up :wink: Something that keeps messing with my mind somehow: when Koji explains that the second concert will be streame...

Re: St John's Smith SQ Christmas Concert 2020 (Dec 6)

Thank you Justin for the original recording of Sing! It’s an infectious song :) The video made me wonder what choreography Libera will create for it, once it’s allowed again :) Padmachou: you’re so right about Dominik in In the Bleak Midwinter! I always felt like the entire verse belonged to him, so...

Re: St John's Smith SQ Christmas Concert 2020 (Dec 6)

Absolutely loved the whole concert. As always, it went by so fast! Let me make songs - a very powerful start and an attractive melody. Some people commented that they couldn't remember it after the concert so I made sure to pay good attention :) but it wasn't hard to do so :) There was one bit where...

Re: Ely Cathedral 2020

This e-mail was sent to me. So there is no 'Probably', 'I think', 'they'... I merely quoted words from your own previous post :wink: I am not doubting the truth of your information - in fact, that is exactly why I went into this as much as I did. It simply shows respect to safeguard such details un...

Re: Ely Cathedral 2020

'Probably', 'I think', 'they'... that all sounds vague to me. I would once again like to emphasise the importance of dealing respectfully and delicately with any information that is received. Was the e-mail sent to you as well? Did you get permission to share its contents publicly? Why not simply wa...
