Libera Dreams

No predictions, but I could not conceive of a Libera concert that did not include "Libera" and "Sanctus".
Previous concert favourites that I would like to see return are: "Sacris Solemnis" , "I am the Day", "Going Home", "Love and Mercy", "Deep Peace", "Secret".
Never played in concert (as far as I know) that I would like to hear are: "Lux Aeterna", "Beata Lux", "Nunc Dimitis", "Lead Kindly Light", "Sailing", "Bright Eyes".
Probably due for a well earned rest: "The Fountain", "Sanctissima".
Would hate to lose: "Voca Me", "Glory to Thee", "Ave Verum", "Stay with Me".
Anything new would be most welcome. How about the shorter version of Allegri's "Miserere"? It would certainly give the back row and Thomas D-L a good work-out.

I was saving 'Libera' for the encore

Sanctus is what they're famous for but I'm a bit Sanctused out; how about Locus Iste instead? Miserere is of course a classic & young Thomas would make mincemeat of that top C unlike some other choirs that make do with a B (not naming & shaming BAC or the New College Oxford version on the Agnus Dei CD of course).

I also really want to hear "Sacris Solemnis" and "I am the Day" at a concert again!!!!!
And would love to hear "Ave Virgo" by Tom D-L's solo.

Well, can't really make prediction here. But, will tell you my wish list for the set list.

For me, I'd like to hear their songs such as Agnus Dei, Angelis, Beata Lux, Lament, Luminosa, Recordare, Silencium, Stabat, Vespera. Would be really nice if they could pick some songs from the past.

Ah forget about Voca Me and Mysterium! Always dying to hear those in a live concert. Someday, maybe.
Also would like to see Sancte or Time or I Am the Day on the list.

And yes, I would be happy to hear that Mother of God too. Beautiful song!

I hope Voca Me is kept, and it would be amazing if Michael U-R and Dylan got full solos...if only I could actually hear their voices!
But gripes aside, all the songs suggested so far seem as though they would so incredible live.

In answer to whether "Grateful Heart" has ever appeared on a Libera or Angel Voices CD: There's a great resource on the Angel Voices site http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Angelvoices/ . If you go to their database (listed on left side), you can search for any song, or video, that was done from the first recording through 2007. There's a "search" box where you can plug in the song, video, etc. same is true of the Libera's World Site, which is an ever-evolving database at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Angelvoices/

PS: "Grateful Heart" has appeared as a video, but not on CD.

On one of Korea posters, there's this section called "Program".
I wonder, is it possible that the songs they listed will appear on this Spring set list as well?

I'm curious what exactly it says bellow the box.
