What are some songs you would love Libera to sing?

Hey. Just feeling a little bored, so I decided to post a new topic.

So yeah, what are some of the songs you would love Libera to sing, maybe in the future albums? Which of the songs do you think are great compositions that really suit Libera's genre?

PS. Actually, I love the new songs composed by Robert Prizeman. And definitely love the older boys trying out writing lyrics for new songs too. It's a great exposure for them. But I'll also like to imagine how they would sound if they could sing some of my favourite songs such as "Danny boy", "You raise me up", "The Lords My Shepherd", or even "Somewhere over the rainbow". LOL.

I was listening to the Vienna Boys Choir Goes Pop album and they sang another song by Enya called Only Time. Their version was very smooth and relaxing. I would love to hear Libera's version of this song

We sang "All Creatures of our God and King" in church today along with some other old hymns and I thought it would be nice if Libera sang it again. I know they sang it back when they were "Angel Voices", but I'd like to hear them sing it now.

There's so many! How about "You'll Never Walk Alone", "When You Wish Upon a Star", and "Any Dream Will Do"?

Oh yeah! Any dream will do! I sang that in choir in secondary school before! I love that song!

I think there's other songs from Disney that's quite suitable too. Like "When you believe". Is there such song? I can't remember the exact title.

There are two songs I'm aware of with that title. One is from the movie "Prince of Egypt" and the other, I don't know the artist, but it's on Jamie Shaw's first album (before his voice changed). Both are great but I'm not sure if the second one (my favorite of the two!) would fit their style.

I would like to hear them do something from the Andrew Lloyd Webber “Requiem”. I think Robert Prizeman could do a great job of adapting “Hosanna” or “Pie Jesu.” These seem like Libera style songs.

'Who wants to Live forever' by Queen.

There's great potential for an emotive solitary solo start (maybe Tom), then another boy to join in, with the whole choir building up towards a climatic ending. In the original video by Queen there was participation of a boys choir at the end.

There's a whole lot of good songs out there that it would be neat to hear...a very great many indeed. Here are a few no particular order:

Modern:
Saved The Day by Dirt Poor Robins on "Volume One" (which I think was never commercially distributed; I bought a copy at one of their gigs a few years ago)

Edited: I found a sample clip of this song online; no longer available for sale at the site, but the sample clip is still up and gives a bit of a feel for the tune. It builds as the song progresses. http://listen30.payplay.fm/d/i/dirtpoor ... 7-clip.mp3

Less modern:
Largo by Thomas Williams
Christmas Day by Gustav Holst
O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus, words by S. Trevor Francis, sung to its standard hymn tune "Ebenezer" by Thomas J. Williams

Not really modern at all:
Passion Chorale harmonized by J. S. Bach (generally found in English hymnals as O Sacred Head Now Wounded)

I think they should come out with an all Christmas album this winter. I think that would be awesome.

xsakurax · Post by **xsakurax** » 16 years ago

I hope too! Please! Please! That will be great! I love all their songs they sang in 2006 and 2007 on Christmas Cooks. I'll love if they could have a Christmas album this year or next. They are really one of a kind, unique and special.
