I have thought about which is my favourite song several times, never been able to name a single one since they are all just so awesome. I suppose naming a favourite from each album makes it a little easier.

Visions: My favourite I think has to be Prayer, all the interwoven harmonies and half way through the first verse when just Tom and Ed are singing then they both go off in completely different directions just sounds great.

Luminosa: Tricky one, I think Id have to pick 2 here, Sacris Solemnis and Gaudete. I love the solo part when the boys go REALLY REALLY high "Lucem ad inhabitas" you know the bit I mean? As for Gaudete, the solo at the beginning is heavenly, then it goes into this kind of up-tempo medievil sounding tune.

Libera: Lux Aeterna I think has to be my favourite on that album...I cant put my finger on why exactly, I just love the solo at the beginning, I actually love any solos by any of the boys. I also love Salva Me for its energy and the contrast between it and some of Liberas more laid back songs.

Free: A song of enchantment and Do not stand at my grave and weep have to be two of my favourites, I just love the lyrics on both those songs, and they are both so relaxing and calming.

Angel Voices: Has to be Far Away I think, that or Going Home, I honestly cant decide on this one.

New Dawn: Now this is a tricky one as I have so many. Gloria is awesome, as is Jerusalem, Rest in peace, Never be alone.........I dont know, they are all so great.

Got to say, while nothing will ever really replace I Am The Day as my all time favorite song by the boys, Sancte from New Dawn is now a very close 2nd. The song is simply one of the best things I have ever heard. The sheer emotion portrayed in its performance brings me almost to tears everytime I hear it. I can hardly wait until they film a video to go with it. From Liam's solo(one of his best), to the use of the lower voices( Callum and Michael) to the full orchestration with special attention to the french horns( my instrument from high school), to me, this is the best song on the cd.
If I had been editing the cd, Sancte would have been the last song. It is a great finale for a cd.

Maybe it's the musician in me bringing out my emotion on this song, I don't know but I wish there was a way to get my feelings on it to RP. I really would like him to know how much I appreciate it.

Sancte was a really mature-sounding piece--the melody is dramatic and exploits the group's full range--and Liam's solo work in that piece is definitely noteworthy. Out of the whole disc, Sancte probably left the most distinct impression after hearing it for the first time...I hope it stays around and goes through a few more takes.

Going through the list:

Libera- Dies Irae, Sancta, and Beata Lux (and Te Lucis). Dies Irae has a more Medieval feel to it, but being a choir geek, I loved the change in style. Sancta and Beata Lux gave a more New Age feel to the album, which is difficult to do well (which they did). Te Lucis it just a great song and I prefer the Latin to the English version (fron New Dawn) of Tallis' Canon.

Luminosa- Gaudete and Vespera. Gaudete is again an old song which I love (and will be singing with my choir this year, in a similar arrangement), and Vespera is an amazing song featuring Steven and Ben, however what makes the song is the culmination in the bridge.

Free- I Am the Day and Voca Me. I Am the Day people have commented on several times (and I generally agree with them). For Voca Me, it has a mysterious quality to itself, along with counterpoint of two lines which were introduced earlier in the piece.

Visions- Recordare, Something Sings, Sing For Ever. Recordare, much like Voca Me, has a mysterious quality with a musical climax at the end. Something Sings is a beautiful piece focusing more on the lyrics (from the poem 'Music' by Ralph Waldo Emerson). Sing For Ever has apparently been in and out of the choir's repetoire for decades, but it is still one of my favorite pieces: relatively simple but elegant and beautiful.

Angel Voices- mostly a compilation, so I'm not commenting on it

New Dawn- Orinoco Flow, Sancte, and The Lamb. I love the song Orinoco Flow, especially when sung well with a good arrangement, so Libera did it justice in my opinion. Sancte is definitely an amazing piece and as others have said before, shows maturity. The Lamb has harmonizing reminiscent of centuries ago, especially with the resolution to the major key. It is different, and since sung a capella, it is that much harder.

To Libera- Keep Singing!

[JimmyRiddle]

Sancte is one of my favourites from the CD too. I also would love them to put it too a video. You could certainly tell a story with that epic song.

[kjackson83]

... does anyone have one Libera song that is their all-time favourite?

Well, if you want to get right down to the wire...

Sancte...? The more you listen to it, the more powerful and moving it becomes.

Sheesh...probably Locus iste or Luminosa; Luminosa is incredibly beautiful, especially when the melodic line just takes off and soars in the words "shine through the dark". I wish they would give that one just one more go before the membership of the group begins to change...

My most favourite songs?
It is heavy to write it.

New Day - Sancte, Love and Mercy, Secret
Libera in concert - Adoramus, I am the Day, Going Home
And in general all album
Angel Voices (2006) - Faraway, Voca Me
Visions - Abide with me
Free - I am the Day, Stay with Me
Luminosa - Sacris Solemnis, Vepera
Libera - Salva Me
About old albums it is heavy to me to speak, it more the classic.
And classics I listen to other choruses.
Therefore I will not write.
Except one song - Angel Voices 2 - Close Every door to Me

These are my most favourite songs from which I not only to crying, but also restore energy. All other this personal.

[SADASS]

So, why these songs?
New Day:
Sancte - It is sung simply surprisingly.
You at all do not represent, as it is a song well influences the person. I will not speak about workmanship and so on, I will speak about emotions and feelings.
The song takes for soul. You plunge into the surprising world.
Very powerful song.

Love and Mercy -The song is sung with such softness........
And as Joshua it has sung, it something.
I will write an image which I see from this song
I do not know. As you will understand. At me with English badly + still the translator I use =))
So an image:

"You come home, and to you on a meeting the small lump runs. A small, white and fluffy kitten.
Runs with joyful eyes, places stumbles about the feet, places goes as a bear, from a foot on a foot.
You a looking as it run.
In a head about yourself you say, that he simply wishes to eat or drink, because all the day was without meal. And actually heart and soul you know or you feel, that it has simply become bored of you because did not see you. And you even probably would like to cry from it.
Has simply become bored and that it is mutual. "

Libera in concert:
Adoramus - Surprising song, cheerful.
Here simply I cry. Simply I cry both all. And it is pleasant to me
I am the Day - I do not have words.
Such powerful and simultaneously deep song. Which scolds through.
Here Joshua has sung it simply at mega height.
And how many energy goes from this song!!!
I listen to it of more year and she does not bother me.
This songs treats my soul.
Going Home - Here too Joshua at height.
In his performance I liked this song.
He with such ease sings a song.
Ben too the good fellow.
Calming song. Which helps me for conservation of energy.
In a word this song - softness.
