4 videos? I think I'm missing something? Where have people learned this, please?

Ah OK, thank you. I missed that somehow.

If all 4 songs are to be broadcast during Lent I wonder if Anima Christi might make an appearance. It's very suitable for Lent and while they've lost a couple of the original soloists, I don't think the solos would be too hard for new soloists to learn.

I'd love it if they did Resurrectio for Easter but I think that's unlikely especially as they seem to be minus Freddie H as well as Luca.

"Anima Christi" would fit perfectly, but I doubt the SOP programmers want something overtly 'Catholic'. I would love to see a new video for "Vespera", but the chapel may be too small for the acoustics required.
There's always "Voca Me" of course, but I would prefer a song that has gotten less exposure.

[...] If all 4 songs are to be broadcast during Lent [...]

Not all four will be broadcast during Lent.
The two remaing song will be broadcast later in the year
That said, I would have loved for Anima Christi to have been recorded
Moreover ChatGPT predicted it

Ah OK in that case the remaining 2 songs could be anything! Fingers crossed for ChatGPT! You never know - maybe the remaining 2 will be Anima Christi and Ave Verum as it said!

I hope one has Morgan as a soloist - despite having several solos on Dream none of them were made into music videos which for me was a shame. I completely understand Libera can't make every song into a music video but that doesn't stop me wishing thwy could!

One problem I have with this version compared to the recording from the "If" album is that I don't think the voices blend as well. Different singing styles could be a factor, but I don't think that's the only reason.
