Libera's live performance at St. Peter's Church in Leiden, Holland, showcased a broad cross-section of their work. Despite the similarity in titles, the track listings for this live CD and the studio "Angel Voices" (the white cover) are not exactly the same.
The fleet-footed, dexterous opening, "Adoramus" (first heard on "Free"), is almost the only number of its kind; immediately afterward, "Going Home" (based on Dvorak's "Largo" from the New World Symphony) slows the ambience down to spotlight the serene warmth of the soloist's (Joshua Madine) voice. The music for the Leiden concert is weighted toward Libera's meditative, even more melancholy work. "Lacrymosa," first heard on "Luminosa," is based on the "Aquarium" from Saint-Saens' ... Read More:

The music is an amalgamation of classical church music with a New Age approach. Many musical notes are approached ever-so-softly with a quick crescendo; it's an idiosyncratic style that can be pretty annoying when you first listen.

Unbelievably gorgeous harmonies and melodies. I also got the DVD for a gift for my father & he loved it. The boys are adorable & their voices are truly angelic.

I've been playing this inspired album repeatedly...obsessively and have no idea when I'll finally be able to tear myself away from it.
I wish the whole world could come to a sudden standstill, open its collective heart, and receive the divine gift of peace and serenity these wondrous voices bestow upon their listener.
Without doubt, this music is the expression of humanity's eternal yearning to unite with its own godliness.
Don't miss it for the world!!

I first caught this choir on PBS and watched the show at least 3 times on different stations.
I love the blending of the old and the new and the wonderful quality of those young voices.
