[TheKittykatmc]

[lylic72]

The ending is not Michael's solo.

Maybe It's as same as the opening voices.

[Montzie0012]

@lylic72 At the end and when they start the main voices that are heard are Michael's and Tom's (both did the solo part for locus iste) and at the back all the other boys are singing =)

[Jamie7466]

I love this! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!

[shaverguy22000]

Locus iste a deo factus est, (This place brought forth into existence) In estimabile sacramentum (In estimable sacrament) Sanctus, Sanctus (Holy, Holy) Benedictus qui venit in Domine (Blessed is he who comes in the Lord) Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabbaoth, (Holy is Lord God of Hosts) Pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria (Fully existent glory in heaven and on earth) Benedictus in nomine (Blessed is the name) Qui venit in nomine (??)

[kaylaluv1994]

[dindabagyo]

[AndreasFilius]

[caelimck34]

This viodeo is so great!! I cannot believe these children can sing so clear, well and high! I cant even sing that way! WOW! I love you guys! I hope that one day, me 15 can be as great as LIBERA!!

[GoldenScratch]

i think i se liam connrey in tish one and you are the new day

[jojohenne]

i think its latin:

locus iste adeo factus est

in aestimabile nomen tuum

sanctus

benedictus benedictus qui venit in nomine benedictus in nomine domine

sanctus...

sanctus dominus deus sabaoth

pleni sunt caeli gloria

sanctus

locus iste ...

[donhenri01]

there is latin mistakes: it is"in nomine domini" (in the Name of the Lord) and "gloria tua" (Your Glory)

[kennethtoft]

Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics for this piece?

[TrekBass]

Congrats to Robert Prizeman -- just amazing work and big tip of the hat to the recording and mixing -- just an outstanding job. I've spent decades with choirs, grew up in a choir family, and these kids blow me away every time. Yes, KC is good but sooo traditional, Libera rules!!!

[Lotiolenti]

They look so American! LOL. I like King's College's choir best.

[Lotiolenti]

Is that the USA's best boy's choir?

[CorruptedByDougie]

possibly not considering they are from south london :)

but i would say they are the UKs best boys choir!

[pochamapiplup95]

what's the highest note in Sanctus?

[picardythirds]

C#, I think, on top of the treble staff.

[pochamapiplup95]

thanks ;)

[Superiorkumattky2010]

Eight years ago, it was the first time that I listened in a thing of Japan and the ending of a certain quiz show. I did not understand who sang and wanted to say that I came to here and at last understood it. I am going to buy the CD which the music was recorded in soon.

[Superiorkumattky2010]

I spent time in 8 till I found it though I watched a certain TV program and at last was able to meet the music that oneself brought himself/herself and looked for!

[TimberwolfsLilsis]

I was taught

Keep

it

simple

servant

[babyduck198718]

keep it simple stupid was what i always heard it as. :P My choir teacher was a nut.

[paracletelux]

[flicfan416]

i think he means the repetition of the words. but i wouldn't go so far as to say it is stupid. i don't usually pay attention to the lyrics of libera. its about the music for me

[picardythirds]

Me too. Actually, nobody has pointed out that the music itself is repettive...it IS pachebl's canon, after all, lol.

Doesn't matter for me. I'd rather listen to 100 reptitions of this than, say, death metal. But that's just my opinion.

[Libera36]

Liam and Zack are so young!!! It surprises me every time I watch this how much they have all grown!!

[glockner]

it's nicely sung and all, but the text is ... well, stupid.

it's basically just a repetition of

"Benedictus, in nomine

qui venit in nomine

Benedictus, in nomine

qui venit in nomine

Benedictus, venit in nomine"

[contrarymotion]

You forgot "Louste Iste, A Deo Factus Est, etc etc...." ;)

It's Sanctus from the Mass. A lot of composers such as bach et al. have used this text, repetitively....you wouldn't called them stupid, would you?

[glockner]

i don't call the author stupid. but the text

[contrarymotion]

Well, that's your opinion. It's been a part of the Mass for centuries.

The full text "Locus iste a deo factus est,

In estimabile sacramentum

Sanctus, Sanctus

Benedictus qui venit in Domine

Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabbaoth,

Pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria

Benedictus in nomine

Qui venit in nomine"

[contrarymotion]

I happen to like the way that it allows the voices to shine through the vowels. It just wouldn't have the same effect in english.

[hawkfan1521]

Very true. The Latin lyrics really make Libera's music even more unique and heavenly.

[evolutionboi]

Its a LATIN WORD which is very nice to hear I love SANCTUS it's very HOLY.

CHINO of SUnSHine State.

[tompw3141]

Who's the composer?

[LiberaUSA]

The composer and director for Libera is Robert Prizeman, a very talented man.

[Muzikman127]

@LiberaUSA it's just canon in D transposed up smitone. What a charlatain.

[malonbu]

Do you or anybody else know where I can get to read about Libera some more? Like...them not just the group but about all of them? ó_ò please? :)

[ezmo1]

Check out their official website and also they are on EMI Classics. Their latest album is called Angel Voices

[LiberaUSA]

I do run a fansite about them called Libera Dreams. The link to the website is posted on my public page here on YouTube. Just click on my name and look for website on the left side. There you will find just about everything you want to know about the choir and the individual choristers themselves.

[Bshep47]

Sounds to sooth the soul.

[carmenluvinray]

I Love Tom

[KinkyUnscrambled]

I love this song. And I love how they have a bunch of different versions and videos of it.

[sammyboy34]

[allenr50]

They are so talented and seem to enjoy what they sing.

[skydreamer76]

Awesome song

[nickylibera]
