Re: Aksel Rykkvin - Boy Soprano who needs your help.

Aksel recently posted this video on YouTube, and I wanted to share it because I love how rich his voice sounds now as it starts to deepen. It seems that he's probably nearing the end of his treble career. I hope that it's a smooth transition, anyway, and that he'll be able to continue singing and po...

Re: Your least favorite Libera song is?

This is a hard topic for me to contribute to, because there aren't a whole lot of Libera songs I don't like. :) However, there are some I don't really care for: - Luminosa and Attendite from Luminosa - Corpus Christi Carol from the Christmas Album - it's kind of slow and it's not really unique compa...

Re: New album is called Hope

In my choir we also called it staggered breathing, and the director would typically tell us specific spots not to breathe, as well. The trickiest thing about the breathing isn't so much the lack of sound because one voice is absent; it's if the person then comes in late, or puts a consonant on at a ...

Re: Libera to tour USA

It's been a few days since the first concert, but I still wanted to post my review, which I hadn't gotten around to writing yet. I ended up with a lot of thoughts and not as much of a chronological review, but hopefully it makes some sense even so. :) The Libera concert at Christ Cathedral was my fi...

I take this tweet to mean that the tour is a go. :D
That's good news. :)

You're probably right. :D They can hardly sing that close to Disneyland and not go there!

Re: Libera to tour USA

Regarding accommodations, if you want to save money and don't mind staying somewhere that's not very fancy, there are two motel chains which can be found almost everywhere in the US, namely Super 8 and Motel 6. They can be money-savers compared to staying in hotels, especially for a longer trip. Sup...

Re: New album is called Hope

Well, I wrote my review for Amazon first to hopefully entice others to buy the album, and I’ve finally gotten around to writing a review here. I would suggest that others give Hope 5 stars and a good review on Amazon, even a short but genuine review – there are only 6 reviews on Amazon US and 4 on A...

Re: Libera to tour USA

I bought tickets to LA and also donated to libera.org. This will be my first Libera concert, if all goes well. :D

Re: Palm Sunday 2017 @ Sacred Heart Curch, Bournemouth, UK

I didn't watch the whole thing, but looked through the video looking for the offertory and communion hymns. Here are some approximate times for what I believe they sang, though the boys weren't visible and the ambient noise in the church made it hard to hear: 42:00: Were You There, with solos around...

Re: New album is called Hope

Listening to the sample some more, I think the beginning of the clip of the mystery song could be the end of the word "Maria," but it's not possible to say for sure because it's just the "-ria" part of it. If that's true, that would also support that the song could be Stabat Mate...

Re: New album is called Hope

I think it's possible the mystery one could be Stabat Mater. I hear the word "morte" (Latin for dead/death) which would fit the theme of Stabat Mater, which is about the Virgin Mary standing at the foot of the cross - "stabat mater dolorosa" means "the sorrowful mother stand...
