Libera sings Luminosa, to the tune of Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune.

I know this isn't 100% Clair De Lune, but it's to the tune of it with added lyrics.

Soloist: Ben Crawley, Steven Geraghty, and Sam Coats
Arranged by: Robert Prizeman
Album: Luminosa
Song: Luminosa
Tune: Claude Debussy

Lyrics:
Beata
Sempitern
Gloriosa

Star of heaven, send your light on me
Star of day, shine through the dark

Beata nominum,
Beata lumina

Aurora stella claro luna
Aurora nocte luminosa

Beata nominum,
Beata sempiterna
Iluminosa, gloriosa

Ave, Ave
Maris stella
Nocte silentium
Mater Dei
Semper coelestium
Maris Stella
Ave virgo clarissima
Gloriosa

Star of heaven, send your light on me
Star of day, shine through the dark

Beata nominum,
Beata lumina

Aurora stella claro luna
Aurora nocte luminosa

Beata nominum,
Beata sempiterna
Beata, sempiterna, gloriosa

Illumina

Anyways, this song was written by Robert Prizeman and sung by a boy's choir in London called Libera.

I noticed a few years ago when I was watching Ocean's 11, that this song sounded like Clair de lune, but I never posted it until now. I think Libera did a nice job as far as adding their own style to a masterpiece.




Tell me what you think.

Libera is an all-boy vocal group directed by Robert Prizeman. Their name comes from their signature song "Libera," which is based on the Libera Me portion of the Requiem Mass. "Libera" is the Latin word for "free". Most of the boys in Libera come from the parish choir of St. Philips, Norbury, in South London. The albums, tours and TV appearances the boys do as Libera are in addition to their regular singing as part of the full choir of men and boys at parish choral services. While the exact number changes from year to year, Libera has approximately thirty boys between the ages of seven and sixteen. This includes new boys that are not yet ready to fully participate in albums or tours. Nineteen boys participated in their 2008 US tour. Twenty four boys sung for their latest album, New Dawn. The boys come from a variety of schools and backgrounds in the London area.[1]. An affiliation with the Anglican Church is not required.
