The problem is you have picked 4 of my favourite choral pieces and the other one is a classic (as sung by Jeff Buckley, the original version by Leonard Cohen is meugh). But all things considered my favourite Libera pieces are those created by RP.john45 wrote:Not at all.
I'll repeat my choices here to start the ball rolling.
Totus Tuus (Gorecki)
Adagio (Barber)
Adagietto from 5th Symphony (Mahler)
Halleluliah (Leonard Cohen)
Song for Athene (Tavener)
I have seen it performed by the British Columbia Boys Choir and also the Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum.labbie wrote:"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen would not be an appropriate song for Libera to perform. While it may have a beautiful melody, the lyrics refer to adult romantic relationships, and their content is definitely not appropriate for young boys to perform. I won't post a link, but I will leave it to those interested to look up the words themselves.
I'd buy an album of hymns! I think this would be good "Liberaized", and would make use of the back row: [BBvideo 425,350][/BBvideo] I can't think of any others right now.LuxVenit wrote:I love the hymns that seem to be going "out of style" now, sadly. You know, the great 4-part hymns with the awe-inspiring descants? If Libera did an album of just those "old" hymns with Robert Prizeman's touch I would buy a copy for everyone I knew! I'm Lutheran, so I don't know how many of these hymns cross over to other denominations (though I'm sure a lot of them do), but here are a bunch of my favorites, just off the top of my head. If I have time, or get ambitious I'll find videos for them too, but that might take awhile.
Beautiful Savior
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
The Church's One Foundation
A Mighty Fortress
Built On The Rock
Praise To The Lord
Oh God Our Help In Ages Past
Sorry, that's more than 5. I'll stop now. Maybe I'll post again if I think of some secular pieces.
