Libera

From: $13.29

Recalling the uplifting New Age chorals of Adiemus and Enigma, Libera fuses the high, innocent voices of 11 and 12-year-old boys with contemporary beats amidst lush synth and orchestral accents. The result is a mesmerizing collection of original choral material written by self-proclaimed "organ nerd" and keyboardist Robert Prizeman. Prizeman, drawing from his background in church music, expertly weaves the choir's bright, sacred tones into the fabric of his modern spiritual vision, which brings the sanctity of London abbeys to mind. At times the album wanders into deeply mystical territory, with the boys' solos bouncing up and down the scale in a soft melancholy, which nicely contrasts with the power of their joined voices. Though not extensively trained, the choir does an expert job with Prizeman's compositions. The one aspect of this CD that may frustrate listeners is the lack of comprehensive credits and information on the artists in the CD booklet. Otherwise, Libera is a pleasantly sublime work of New Age art. --Karen K. Hugg

Enchanting

There's something about a good choir that can really stir the spiritual imagination and this choir is simply fantastic. Based out of Europe, Libera re-introduces the world to classical pieces in upbeat and modern mixes. Some tracks are simply...

Gracious

For those of us, myself included, desperately hoping that the age of church music isn't dead - or should I say, hoping that new ways of singing God's praise can still be found, this album gives hope that something non-trivial can be done with...

Absolutely the most beautiful music anyone could hope for and beyond words for New Age music addicts. I'm not particularly religious,but this music gives me goose bumps. I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church, but I love Catholic chorus music. It is...

Incredible. Simply incredible.

These boys have the finest voices you'll hear anywhere. Not being Catholic, I don't understand much of the Latin in songs such as cut 2, "Sanctus." But I could listen to that particular song over and over and over. In fact, I have. And it is so...

I was raised with music all around me. Mom being a choir director at church, older sister an organist and all family singing in the choir. Needless to say, we were never at this level of music but, this music truly touches my soul as it is so...
