It is ! :D

Now that the photo begins to be widdely known, and now that Jimmy have opened the box, it's time to try to identify the song ! :)

Here my result trying to improve the score to try to read it :

Based on the title format, the position of the notes on the score, and the fact it's a christmas song, it should be possible to find it :)


And we have a very limited time for that, the news will start to come from the USA very soon now ! :lol:

Everyone can speculate as to the title of the score in the picture if they wish. I think I'd rather speculate as to what Christmas carols might be launched into the stratosphere with Libera's trademark ethereal sound. Of course, we have no way of knowing for sure what is going to end up on the CD, but I wouldn't mind hearing one or even two John Rutter carols. Libera did a beautiful job on Mr. Rutter's composition, "Gaelic Blessing(Deep Peace)". I particularly love "Angels' Carol", or "Candlelight Carol", as well as the Rutter arrangement of "O Holy Night". You can hear these carols as performed by the Cambridge Singers, directed by John Rutter, on YouTube. No matter what material is chosen, I am sure the CD will be sought after by Libera's followers, old and new.

Wow that was driving me INSANE. I finally figured out what to do (and smacked myself for not getting it quicker). I love little teasers like that. JK Rowling used to do puzzles on her website to "tease" us between Harry Potter releases. I miss that stuff :-(

The music nerd in me is in agony that I can't read the sheet music though. I would LOOOVE to get my hands on some of their music just to look at.

i have some wishes for the Christmas album:

maybe the tracks from Aled Christmas Carol album can be on there--I can't play that DVD here in the states, and the audio I have ripped from youtube videos leaves something to be desired.

and from one of their appearances on TV last Christmas, perhaps we will see their full version of "In the Bleak Midwinter" we were all speculating about.

can't wait!!!!!

Excellent find, Fan de LoK! And great game for us, too. :D

It's hard to see on my phone, but enlarging it, it looks like Holy Night or Holy Light. It could be a secular song, but if not, here's a good source of songs typically used - http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.co ... festiv.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In looking for 2-word titles, none seems to fit the written music. Could it be that we are looking at a harmony part? Perhaps it's Starry Night. I hear a nice high part in the "Allelujah" section like on the second line. Just a guess.

Oh my Goodness, so many good news barraging me at the moment and now this?! :shock:

Here's wishing that it's going to be like Enya's And Winter Came album wherein the songs are winter/christmas inspired but are totally not covers. (YEAH RIGHT, I CAN DREAM)

Oh please not a full concert.... I have no money for a close seat! :lol: But surely I'm gonna get that album if it ain't too Christmas-y....

It's very simple :lol:
Even though the hidden photo is not online anymore (according to Murkskis) can you please tell me the final clue? because I'm still at a loss how you guys found it!

Murkskis is right, they removed the photo :)

The clue was very simple : the URL of the public photo displays a "(2)" at the end.
To reach the hidden photo you had just to change the (2) by (1) ;)

Ah, thanks :) I had noticed the (2) but didn't think anything of it because there were 2 pictures ;)
