Re: New album is called Hope

Sounds like Latin to me; I think I hear "excelsis" in the lower harmony part, possibly the beginning of "Deo" (as in "excelsis Deo"). I'm having a harder time understanding the higher part, but the "-oria" at the beginning could be the end of "gloria"...

Re: Libera Dreams Style change.

I'd prefer a style with lighter colors as well. I also really liked how the previous style would show that a forum had unread topics by changing the color - it's harder to check for new posts with a click glance with the new style. But I agree - thank you Paul for all your work!

Re: "Walking In The Air"

Treble voices are the voices of children before the voice changes. Both girls and boys do experience a change in their voices, but there is more of a change in boys. My understanding is that the term soprano (and alto, etc.) refers particularly to range. (I know there are ways to further classify vo...

Sorry to hear that, Robolib - I hope you enjoyed watching Libera's DVD, at least.

Merry Christmas to everyone! :)

Re: Libera Christmas 2016

Thanks for posting! :) I believe the recording is from the Holiday EP released last year. I don't think anyone posted who the soloists are from that album for sure (perhaps no one bought the physical CD), but the solos at the beginning and end of Carol of the Bells on that recording sounded very muc...

Re: Libera at Christmas - EP

I was just listening to I Vow To Thee My Country and thinking that the mystery soloist on Silent Night sounds a bit like the voice at 0:24 on that track, which would be either Camden Stewart or Alex Montoro based on the liner notes, and I think it was probably Camden. I'm going to guess that that th...

Re: Libera at Christmas - EP

It doesn't quite sound like Ciaran to me, but I think he's a possibility. My current guess is that it's either Alessandro or someone who doesn't have a recorded solo yet. I'm leaning towards it being someone new, but it's hard to say.

Re: Libera at Christmas - EP

I've just been listening to the samples. To me, the soloist on Hymn to Mary does sound a lot like Isaac, and it sounds like him when he was a little younger (it sounds closer to his voice on Christmas in Ireland than his voice in Libera in America or the last EP, at least to me). I'm sure Silent Nig...

Re: Continental Europe Tour Summer 2016

There's definitely some truth to the articles - I have heard my fair share of "Bad Catholic Music." One parish my family attended for a few years almost exclusively sang music from the 1970's, in fact. However, I've also heard quite a lot of good Catholic music. My point was mainly that th...

Re: Continental Europe Tour Summer 2016

I watched the YouTube video of Total Praise a couple times. It was a bit unbalanced, but it didn't sound as bad as I expected from some of the comments. While it certainly wouldn't be a song I would choose myself, overall I rather liked it. It was also nice to see a video with some of the newer boys...
