I'm so glad I found this choir:D I think this choir and Libera are both amazing, but just a little different stylistically. Libera just has a lot more people...
I just spent the last hour listening to different recordings of this piece on YourTube. This performance moves me the most deeply. The soprano soloist, Edward Burrowes, is superb and sings with a poise and presence well beyond his years. He is by far the best soloist in all of the recordings I have heard.
Just thought I would answer your query regarding this song and Libera. You may know by now but these boys are not the same as Libera. Boys air choir was a project which drew Boys from various choirs in an attempt to create the perfect boys choir. Sadly the project has finished. However Libera are still going strong and have a new album out called peace. Please buy it if you haven't already. You will not regret it.
I think it's a promotional video made for Japan. Libera is quite popular in Japan as well. But they do this sort of thing to all kinds of countries, I wouldn't be surprised if I see a bunch of promor videos in Italian, or Russian, or Chinese...
I heard the BBC Singers perform this last night and it was very good. But this is extraordinarily good. The quicker tempo suits the piece, and the effortlessless of this lovely, radiant performance is quite sublime.
i like boys singing better because they dont have the interference of vibrato like some girls do. this song is so pretty and pure!! i love the sound and the accustics where they're singing
Gooosh. I do think I perfer boys singing...*is a girl choir singer myself* They have a much purer sound, anyhow. XD Even now I have a slight vibrato, and though it's not necessarily a bad thing or anything like that, I just can't produce as pure of a sound as a boy with an unbroken voice. haha. XD 8D I love this song. All these boys have great voices. They're amazing!! :DD
Er, what are you talking about? Almost every boy (with an unbroken voice) would be able to reach that note, they are perhaps too embarrassed to though, or don't want to, or don't know that they can. But European choristers are simply better than America ones. And the high notes in Bluebird are NOT meant to be sung by women...Ignorance man.
ok this is creepy cuz i'm in a choir and we r singing that and even i cant reach that note and i'm a girl!! this is rly weird! but they r good. its kinda suppost to be a girls solo cuz most boys cant reach that not.<---btw this is not my account. =]
I hope you were joking, but I am thoroughly sick of people calling trebles feminine/gay/etc. I think a lot of trebles would agree with me! It's a unique sound, and women can't duplicate it.
I was amazed and feel like i saw a glimpse of heaven with their voice such wonderful voice I can't imagine how they do that. I also have a choir that may sound like them and we join in China.
Especially St Thomas', who now have John Scott - the organist who trained up the Burrowes'. Scott is the best in the business! 90% of a choir is their trainer.
I think the boys of the Washington National Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul, St Thomas 5th Avenue, and Saint Paul K Street might prove an exception to your generalization. Not to mention the American Boy Choir, the Pacific Boy Choir, and a few others that come to mind.

I've always prefered boys as trebles than women as Sopranos, the tone of the voice is so much clearer. There's so much depth to the voice here.
wackyal3000 1 year ago
@wackyal3000 that's because of the difference in timbre produced by the relative difference in size and thickness of vocal chords.
