Isn't it hot in the US ? I am surprised they are wearing long-sleeves shirts.
Glad to see some boys are back. It is a great team, surely the tour will be fantastic !

Also want to add that I would love, love, LOVE to have "Ave Maris Stella" and "Veni Sanctus Spiritus" recorded. Those are the two they sang at the beginning (can call it an "introit" I suppose).

I LOVE how Sam conducts the choir! During the intro of Ave Maria they were all out of tune and he simply touched his hear to tell them to listen to themselves, then when they start too early he told them NO with his head. Very gentle and calm, that's how you work with children! I was a little bit worried about Luca, his chest voice is strong and resonant but he still has a pure treble head voice. But Freddie is basically a conter tenor now, I wasn't expecting his voice being so dark...

Imagine receiving communion with Libera singing Anima Christi in the background - that’s a slice of pure heaven right there.

Was that Freddie singing the second verse? His pleading tone is extraordinary.

Also: what a precious moment to have a live recording of the Caccini Ave Maria 🙏🏻

Since he's the soloist on the album I think it's him, but he sounds like a female mezzo soprano,very dark and "heavy". And beautiful of course.

A perfect photo to caption with their names - I know less than half of them now.

Always thought the Caccini version of Ave Maria would be complex and tricky for the soloist in a live setting but Luca made it look easy. Breathtaking some of the notes he reached.. and kept hold of!

Nice to have the camera switch to them when they were singing up near the organ. The church and congregation appeared very appreciative to have them participating.

Agreed about Luca! He was fantastic.

Just realised, for the first time in quite some years we have 3 sets of brothers on tour: Freddie and Thomas, Dom and Leon, and Pietro and Federico. 😊

The fan who has been posting lots of Libera videos lately posted an edited version of the boys’ Sunday church performance featuring just their performances. This one includes Freddie and Luca leading the singing of “Deep Peace”.
