Libera Dreams

Hi everybody, I'm still alive, even though I've been away from the forum for eons. I probably won't be keeping up too frequently for now, either, due to a chronic condition called "lots of things to do but less than lots of time to do them in." 8) I also was at the New Jersey concert, and ...

Let's see... Canada... I'd probably be able to go actually! Almost all of my dad's family lives there, so housing wouldn't be a problem. Depends on where in Canada they'd tour - it's a huge country! :wink: It's a huge country in terms of land area, but the population is very unevenly dispersed. If ...

I think he's singing the right words, though they aren't the easiest to understand between the rather thick accompaniment and the effects in the vocal track (a fair bit of reverb, and I think maybe some double tracking). I don't hear "path" at all; maybe "words," but that's nearl...

While I really appreciate the kind thoughts of making a Libera CD for your director (or anybody else, for that matter), I would not recommend doing so. In nearly every country, and definitely in the USA, it's illegal to distribute material covered by copyright without the copyright holder's permissi...

I think I'll say that it's "Heaven" from Eternal. I'm not a fan of the choppy, vaguely disco-like remixing, and it really bugs me that the only English lyric is a fragmentary clause of a sentence that never gets completed. And I saw a new earth, for the first earth and the first heaven It...

I've had the chance to do a fair bit of traveling, and with that there are a few stories that come up. Perhaps the most unusual was when returning from visiting my Mother for a few weeks a few years ago. At that time she was a missionary in northern Cameroon doing literacy work with some of the wome...

I think the most Christmas carol-y carol I know of is the traditional "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing." The music was composed by Mendelssohn, and he once reportedly claimed that it would never fit with sacred words as it was too exuberant and joyful. He was obviously wrong in that estimatio...

A very nice video indeed. It's great to hear a bit from so many of the members.

I'm sometimes surprised at how different some people sound when talking and singing.

I'd love to hear some Rich Mullins songs. Ferinstance as this one:

I'm happy with them sticking to Exsultate-style choreography rather than trying to be the light version of Backstreet Boys. I think I am likewise happy with that direction. Active dancing and singing simultaneously is not an easy combination, though. The dancing messes with your breathing. While I ...

The Riga Dom Boy's Choir in Riga, Latvia has made some albums that are vaguely similar in some respects to Libera. (At the least, they've done some pieces that are decidedly not traditional sounding boy choir pieces.) The album that comes to mind is "Odi et Amo," but I believe it's not cur...

Well, I finally ordered a few CDs a bit ago and thus got the album. (Maybe I'm a cheapskate, but I don't like paying shipping and handling for just one CD at a time!) I voted for Exsultate; I like the bouncy melody, and the contrasting slow section. The singing also strikes me as being technically w...

They posted on their Facebook page about an hour ago that they are driving through Oklahoma. I've never been there, so can't comment on whether that is a good thing or a boring thing. Some on FB say it's boring. :lol: Some parts of Oklahoma (like Nebraska and Kansas and Wyoming) are a bit on the du...

And here I thought it was something as simple as a little talent, good arrangements and leadership, and a whole lot of practice. I mean, that's what makes the music groups I'm in good (or, sometimes more accurately, the lacking of which prevents us from being really good), and that's what most music...
