Why?

Because they are boring and trivial, like everything written after the Vatican II council. And to be honest, Italian doesn't fit well with liturgical music.

Monsignor Frisina is the most famous post Vatican II composer, which means low quality and "easy to sing" material despite the pomposity of the orchestral parts in the recordings. His songs are now sung in every Catholic congregations and by every choir in Italy, and being Italian myself, ...

Not even in my worst nightmares I would have dreamed to hear LIbera singing a piece written by Marco Frisina

Not onstage but there was a group of about 6 watching from the side under Barbara G's supervision. They were wearing the Libera blue shirts, gray trousers & blue coats.

Probably they are not ready to sing in concert yet. Maybe we'll see them next spring .

No newbies this year?

A recent tweet from Libera Moose🙂. https://twitter.com/LiberaMoose/status/1598998923972317187?t=_nIZmyS2opktS65qI73sdA&s=19 I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you :?:

The "Libera" soloist is Joe Sanders Wilde from the Visions album ( 2005 ). Quite sure he's also the soloist in the Sanctus video.

This Ave Maria is just... WOW!

The crowdfunding is now live!

Especially since for many of us a possible trip to London would be quite expensive and tiring. I would also need: a passport (116 euros ), at least two visits to my local Questura ( the Italian passport is released by the Police after your criminal record is checked and considered clean ", the...

It’s a shame that we have gone back to the old days with tickets. I completely understand Parents sacrifice a lot but then these are professional concerts so I don’t understand why things have reverted backwards and especially when you consider the cost for fans as well. All this will do is put som...

Also hoping for these, with the same soloists as in Ely

Of course! Or maybe there is a video somewhere??? Did you notice if there were cameras recording?

In one of the speeches at Ely 2022 a mention was made of ‘recording for a new album’. The reference was specific to the new song Come My Way which premiered at Ely. Though there was no mention of an album in the programme, it did include pictures of the boys in a recording studio. I am excited at t...

When listening to Bacchanale on Youtube, it does not seem to me it matches with a libera style. I doubt anything related to Bacchanale or adapted from it will be performed Saturday. Nisi Dominus refers to 'Cum Dederit' and it barely can be said as 'new' as it was already performed on stage. It was ...
