Album Description
Libera is the extraordinary vocal group made up of no less than 24 boys aged 7-16 who meet for several hours every week at a church in South London to rehearse and perform. Visions, amply demonstrates their musical prowess; with shimmering, mystical chords and exquisite harmonies, Libera prove they really are unique. Of the13 tracks on the album, some will sound familiar such as 'Locus Iste', which is based on Johann Pachelbel's (1653-1706) famous piece, 'Canon', a piece of baroque music that has been interpreted by many over the years, even finding its way into modern pop music. There's an entirely original arrangement of 'Ave Maria' and an uplifting version of the traditional hymn, 'Abide With Me' (words: Henry Lyte, 1847. Music: William Monk, 1861). The remaining tracks are entirely original with titles like 'New Day', 'Sing Forever' and 'Something Sings'. Several new soloists are featured: Michael Horncastle, Connor O'Connell, Tom Cully, Joseph Sanders-Wilde, Callum Payne, and James Verecken. Libera's previous album Free spent several weeks in the top 3 position in the UK Classical Charts. The album was also nominated for 2005's Classical Brits Awards "Album of the Year". EMI. 2005.

 Libera Visions -- Amazon Customer June 15, 2008
If you enjoy religious music, or choral music, you will enjoy LIBERA. I first heard them on Public/Educational Television and the sweet voices and high notes were awesome. The voices are angelic and it is very uplifting music.
Best choir music and voices ever February 13, 2008
This is one of the, if not the best, boy choirs in the world. Their angelic voices and heart-felt music is simply a perfect guide for my choir students' voice technique and listening skills. Thank you Libera for your beautiful voices and music.
Most like angels singing you will ever hear here on earth November 14, 2007
I cannot recommend Libera enough...Visions is beautiful, and we listen to it all the time!There is so much contemporary worship music that is "singing about God", but not too much of it is really a love song "to Him". So many of the songs in Visions are "TO Him".In return, this music reflects back to us the love of the Father towards his creation, and is truly blissful to hear. We plan on having more of the Libera collection.
Great gift August 27, 2007

This music is unbelievable! You can listen to it over and over and still want more. In extreme stress situations (like commuting) it has a great calming affect. I wish this group toured the U.S. sometime!
