I wish to thank you for your post of Libera too.
I think Libera (aka St Philips Boys Choir) have every right to be
here, they are a classical boys choir and many of their songs were
composed by classical authors.
From the Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libera_%28music%29#Music
Libera has a distinctive sound. All of its singers are boys, most with
unchanged boy soprano (also known as treble) voices, with those boys
in their early teens singing the lowest parts. Almost all their songs
are either new compositions by Robert Prizeman or
_unique arrangements of classical_
and contemporary tunes. Prizeman often composes and arranges pieces
with individual soloists in mind, to emphasize the variety of
characteristics and qualities in the boys' voices. His compositions
blend innovative textures, meditative soloists and vibrant ecstatic
chorus harmonies that stretch across the full range of the boys'
range. Libera's music frequently combines elements of
_Gregorian chant, classical composers such as Debussy, Beethoven and
Pachelbel,_
as well as contemporary pop and new age music. Some of their songs,
such as "Sanctus", have appeared in different versions on several of
their albums. Some more contemporary songs have been covered by the
group, such as Enya's Orinoco Flow.
Most of Libera's lyrics come from
_traditional hymns, the Latin Rite liturgy,_
and contemporary songs by artists ranging from Brian Wilson to Enya.
However, lyrics from various poems and original lyrics are also used.
