2014 - What will a new album be called?

In the programme for St George's mention was made for a new album in 2014. Ahead of the 'Peace' album in 2010 we had a bit of a guessing game as to what the new album might be called so I thought we could do the same again while we wait for more news.

I'm thinking that the Voca Me recording in Armagh might be a pointer so 'Voca Me' would probably be my guess but other possibilities could be:

One word guesses: Harmony, Chant, Enchanted/Enchantment, Imagine, Sanctuary, Ascent, Inspire, Fantasy, Sacred, Pure, Together, Beyond, Ethereal, Serenade, Aria, Secret, Paradise, Anthem, Echoes, Dream/Dreams/Dreaming, Prayer, Lullabye, Sing, Gloria, Life, Joy, Faithful,

Longer guesses: Into Paradise, River of Dreams, Never Alone, Fly Away, Spirit of Music/Spirit of Song, Coming Home, In Dreams, Always With You, Dreaming of Home, Amazing Grace, Always There, One Voice, Evening Falls.


So, that's my starter for 10 (look up a quiz show called University Challenge for that reference) what do you guys think? Get posting.

Ephemeral?
I hope not.
Perhaps you meant Ethereal.

I like "Sanctuary".
Other suggestions: Celestial Dreams, Tranquility, Safe Haven, Elysium, Serenity.

I have nothing new to contribute in the way of a possible title, but I did like "Spirit of Song". It suggested to me not only the concept of a song itself; the actual music and lyrics, but the emotions evoked by the song, and the music of Libera does bring out definite emotions in the listener.

I also had the thought that perhaps Warner Classics might invite supporters to suggest a title for the new CD, if that is what is in the works, but that is at their discretion and that of Libera, of course.

Libera choir goes Pop! (please god no)

...Joking!... but you've probably already suggested most of my ideas so I've only got silly one's left.

P.S. really hoping that recording of Voca Me is included as bonus extra!

LOL - that would be...........special..........

I can't help but think that there was some significance with the recording of VM; there must be a purpose. Why record one none Christmas song that wasn't intended to go on the album? It was the only song they did three takes of - not because of any mistake but so they could change the camera positions to get a greater variety of shots.

This is the future :wink: :

Now that would be one hell of a competition! I wonder what the prize could be :D

Sanctuary has a lot of positives going for it and whilst I quite like Celestial Dreams it might be a tad sickly. Elysium/Heaven would be interesting but I think the recent film of the same name has probably nixed that one.

I would love to see an Album maybe Mysterium, A compilation of the plainsong type material, not to much instrumental! so you get a full album of hearing just there vocal talent.

Of all the options listed, I like Ascent the best.
Optimistically I would hope that it would refer to Libera's sales and concert attendance statistics. :)

If "Dreaming of Home" is one of their new songs why not name the album after that song? It goes along with Rememberance Day for which they have a long history of remarkable performances. I think they could nearly fill an album with the songs they've sung for it.

Absolutely agree Tully which is why I included it in my list :D
