I'll have to think about that. I can tell you all here how much they help me stay calm. If I am really stressed, all I have to do it play one of the cd's or get on my computer and watch one of the many videos and I can feel myself calming down.

Wonder if they would want that little story.

Wow, that's really cool! When's the closing date to send them the mail? I'll only have time to write after my exams are over. :( Which luckily, will be over soon! Is it everyone out there could write them a mail? Cos they ask for a telephone, wonder if they accept people in other countries?

I don't think the BBC will make a DVD...but I could be wrong. It doesn't seem like something the BBC would do, though. Also, because of the way things like the licence fee work in the U.K., people overseas may not be able to immediately lay hands on anything the BBC makes because of rights restrictions...

The way Songs of Praise works, is they chat about something, and then go into a hymn/song. So I think throughout this special documentary there could be a few (hopefully) new songs that we haven't seen Libera sing before. You never know they may pick a few songs from one of their live concerts.

I don't think they will be a DVD released though.

BBC has told me they have no plans of releasing a DVD and my sources have also told me a DVD is, right now at least, not in the plans. So no, we will not see a new DVD yet, but maybe soon.

A new CD would be great, maybe in a year or so.

jenna: I personally like the choir's style, lyrics, and melodies. Their musical characteristics and talent are what make the group notable in my mind. I'm considerably less interested in things like appearance.

Here is the email I just sent off to Songs of Praise.

"I guess what it is about Libera that affects me the most is the ability of the boys' music to calm me down. I work in food service and it is a rather stressful job. I come home from work very stressed and tired. All I need to do is either pop in a cd or go to my computer and play one of the videos. I always feel myself calming down almost instantly. I can just feel the stress leaving my body, especially with Sanctus or Far Away. "

I hope they use it
