Libera Dreams

Is Japan looking unlikely for this year now? And nothing in the calendar for the summer?

Just realised that the (academic) Year 10s (14-15 year olds) age out this summer, and because we’ve already lost half of that group - Laurence D, Lewis Q, Luca - we may be short on Bigs if the remaining boys ...

Wow. I'd heard that Garrett didn't really like to talk about Boychoir, but that sure doesn't seem to be the case with this really nice message for Luca.

Has anybody noticed the resemblance between BOYCHOIR's Garrett Wareham and ...

A hidden surprise just surfaced on my Facebook memories: the elusive video of Libera's appearance with Jay Leno on the TONIGHT Show, singing "Carol of the Bells."

For those still struggling to put names to faces of current singers, I've accompanied Padmachou's wonderfully detailed review (in which only four singers go unmentioned, and I add these at the end) with captioned photos of the boys. Both review and photos can be found at the end of the Libera ...

If I'm not mistaken, that "cow" is a bull.

Wouldn't it be dangerous to have a bull loose in an area which is publicly accessible? I couldn't tell for sure if it had an udder or something else.

Well, it looks to me like they were in the bulls habitat so you take the risk😀 The UK has pretty ...

This one is most unusual:

The very first note I heard from Libera was little Joe Snelling and his clarion "Salva!" in the 2007 Leiden performance. That was powerful enough to get me hooked.

Then there's the amazing contrast of Conor O' Donnell and Joe Sanders-Wilde in "Recordare ...

Tom Cully's voice was slightly "darker" (in a good way) than Liam's.

The solo on"Sancte" is, according to all sources, Liam Connery. I've always been surprised that he wasn't featured more as a soloist, as this piece is magnificent. According to Libera Passion, these are all his solos and small-group support performances:

Liam Connery Solo/support in concert (with ...

Speaking of "Ave Maria"s, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tadgh Fitzgerald's take on the Schubert version in the "Apart But Together" concert during Covid.

Great choices, everyone! I'm only surprised that James Mordaunt's exquisite "Touch the Sky" (composed by Ben Crawley and recorded on PEACE, 2010) hasn't made an appearance. I seem to have a weakness for some other more obscure pieces, several of which have never appeared in concert. For instance ...

OK, here's a good January pastime: You're compiling a two-disc album called LIBERA:GREAT PERFORMANCES, featuring Libera songs and videos, beginning with the group's "official" founding in 1999.

One disc is a CD, the other a DVD.The CD is composed of up to 12-14 audio tracks; the DVD contains an ...

Oscar's reply reminds me of the interview in Japanâ€”2005, I thinkâ€”where little Ed Day (now successful stand-up comedian Ed Night) announced, to the great amusement of the older boys, that he wanted to become an Olympic hurdler.
