Libera - O Sanctissima

[irisvanessarodriguez]

estoy tratando de escribir un buen comentario desde hace rato, y ahora como que porfin lo he logrado. Gracias por acercar a nos los de lengua catellana canciones tan hermosas como estas. De verdad Dios te siga bendiciendo, ahora puedo compartir estas canciones a mis conocidos o a gente que no tenga mucho conocimiento del inglés y que con estos subtítulos puedo también compartir (valga la redundancia), para cuantas personas todavía no conocen a estas voces angelicales. Gracias Gracias otra vez..

Did Libera sing this in any of their live concerts?

[BalletCava]

Wow it's so peaceful. Their voices are voices of angels. Pure. 1:32-1:41

amazing ! Extraordinaire.

Although I love mini Ben actually doing the solo on this song, I think it sounds more like Stefan Leadbeater was doing the solo. Hear him doing the high notes on Salva Me at the Crystal Cathedral and compare the sound here on this song.

I don't want to create a controversy but I think it's much better if we wait until the album was released to know who the actual soloist is. Or better yet inquire from the LiberaOfficial website.

@rsoriani - The fan community is pretty sure it's Ben. If you listen to a lot of Libera, you definitely recognize his voice. The way he pronounces a lot of his descending vowels is quite distinctive.

@barcode9588 I just started listening Libera music and I think is fantastic, but when I read this I get the feeling that it IS possible to listen too much of it.

amazing song!!! love it

[barcode9588]

Ben and Tom's voices are so different it's hard to compare them. Tom definitely had much more control than Ben does - a lot more depth and strength behind the notes. That being said, Ben has this sort of airy innocence that's quite pure and makes him immensely suitable for pieces like this as well as Jerusalem from New Dawn.

[AndromedaAiken]

Agreed. :) Robert Prizeman has this incredible ability to arrange and write songs to suit a particular soloist's voice.

[jezzmn]

Looks like Ben has taken over Tom's top lead solo. Although I think this song was written for his solo and no one elses.

[Snelling06]

I think Ben Philipp is singing the solo!x

Thanks for uploading!xox

[LiberaVoices]

Yeah, I immediately thougt: 'This is Ben!' Amazing solo. For me, this song has a bit the same mood as Sancte: very sacred, quiet and emotional in a certain way. Close your eyes while listening and you see the Libera-boys standing in a big cathedral, candles in their hands...

Thanks for posting!

[devilsfood2005]

Please post if anyone knows who is singing the solo part- I cannot recognize this voice-- Thank You

Thanks so much, Michael!!

A beautiful melody that one doesn't get tired of to hear that constantly resonates in our interior!

[lucasduff3]

Let's all make their new album a BESTSELLER folks! How come libera make words that look so complicated and strange on paper, sound so beautiful and inspiring when listening to them.

[libefan]

Thanks so much for your comment!!

Here is the beginning (English translation):

"O most holy, O most lowly

Sweet Virgin Mary

Beloved Mother, undefiled

Pray, pray for us!"

[Isaquiocd]

Muy lindo

[libefan]

¡Muchas gracias, Isaqui! ¡Me alegro que te guste esta increíble canción que se va repitiendo y nos va elevando poco a poco a la contemplación de la belleza de María!

[rossendgri]

Muchas gracias por compartirlo

[libefan]

¡Muchas gracias, Rossend a tí por escucharlo!

¡¡Una melodía medieval llena de encanto y poesía!!

[benoitmaur]

AVE MARIA

Comme un lis au milieu des épines

Telle est Marie parmi les jeunes filles

Mère ayant été aimée sans tache

Priez, priez pour nous

En misère et en angoisse

Priez Vierge, pour nous

Pour nous priez à l'heure de notre mort

Priez, priez pour nous

[libefan]

O sanctissima, O piissima, Dulcis Virgo Maria.

Mater amata, intemerata, Ora, ora pro nobis.

Ora, ora, ora pro nobis

Virgo respice, Mater aspice. Marter nostra, Maria.........

[benoitmaur]

beatiful

[libefan]

Thanks so much, Philippe!!!
