Libera in America 2017 Behind the scenes (New video from Libera of the US)

[GlennJalmas]

This is a 57 mins. video showing the US tour last 2017. Thank you so much to Libera of the US for sharing this to all of us.

I wonder if this video put forth by Libera of the US is a harbinger of things to (soon) come?

I would assume too as well. It's truly amazing as to how the boys are very much into singing that even during their free time they still do it. I really loved the part where they're singing at the dining table and also the From a Distance song in the end.

Very nice, colourful video! I particularly love that there's so much singing shown there - performing, rehearsing, warming-up, sound check, singing in any place. My very favourite part is their finding together by and by for From a Distance at 32:09, but also very much 48:44 and the interesting filming angle for Wayfaring Stranger at 49:26.

06:03 - ?

Great list, very useful!

The lyrics at 6:03 appear to be; "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!". I managed to find a longer excerpt online from another choir:



Not sure if there's any more to this piece. Title is presumably "Hosanna in the Highest", but more research needed (or some avid churchgoers to chime in perhaps ).

43:50 - ?

Appears to be a rendition of "Dies Irae"; a mixture of the lines found here - I'm not sure if there's a published version of the song Libera is singing, but the lyrics are:

Dies irae, dies illa,
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Cum resurget creatura,
Judex est ventur(us?).

Yes it is and the song was part of the setlist on the tour. It just sounds different when sang spontaneously in a restaurant

This one :

It's a great video ! Thank you for sharing. Libera did not share it in the name did they ?
