The power to lift one up to the Divine...that takes something powerful...and as far as i can see, Libera has done it! God Bless the souls of all who have ever sung in this beautiful and wonderful Choir!
A note about pronunciation: "Luchis" is perfectly correct "church Latin" as opposed to Classical Latin, an older and more "refined" variety of the language. Classical Latin was the variety of great writers like Cicero and Virgilio. "Church Latin" was the common everyday Latin of the people, to whom the church intended to reach with its music and sermons. So, we have "Lukis" Classical Latin; and "Luchis" vulgar (meaning of the Vulgo, the people) and church Latin.
Never! it's something like "tz" (rendered in English transcription)actually, but English usually pronounce it at "CH",which is also a classical variant.
Neither of them. Neither tz or k. "Lukis" would the classical Latin version. That is, the Latin of Cicero and Virgilio; not church Latin, which is pretty much older than that, and it's kind of substandard because it had to reach all the people. This kind of Latin was also called vulgar Latin. The laguage of the "vulgo", the people. So it 's perfectly pronounced as Steven does: "luchis".
Steven is indeed an extraordinary talent. He is still active behind the scenes with Libera and I believe he still appears occassionally with the St Philips choir.
He helps train the younger boys appears playing the keyboards or clarinet in the concerts or in the recording studio.
"keep me as the apple of thine eye" . . . literally "little man of your eye" referring to the pupil, a delicate part of the eye that is essential for vision and that therefore must be protected at all costs. . . . And what a cost Christ paid! He is our protection night and day.

Before the ending of the day
Creator of the world we pray
That with thy wonted favour thou
Would be our guard and keeper now
Keep me as the apple of an eye
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings
Keep me as the apple of an eye
Hide me, hide me, hide me
Hide me, hide me, hide me
Keep me as the apple of an eye...

He helps train the younger boys appears playing the keyboards or clarinet in the concerts or in the recording studio.
By all accounts he is a superb musician.
