The 3 time Classical BRIT nominees and YouTube sensations have chosen 17 of their favourite Christmas songs and the boys invite you to celebrate Christmas with their unique Libera sound. Libera are one of the leading worldwide exponents of the British choral tradition and this special collection includes 16 popular carols and a bonus song from the film The Snowman, The award winning Walking in the Air ... all recreated in Libera style. From the traditional Once In Royal David's City and the haunting Carol Of The Bells to the popular In The Bleak Mid-Winter, this new CD has captured the unmistakable atmosphere of a Libera concert. The magical sounds of Libera enchant audiences across the world - from Moscow to Manila, from Westminster to Washington, from Tokyo to Toronto, from Shanghai to Singapore. The boys' distinctive white robes recall Libera's traditional origins, yet their music - which is at once both ancient and modern - reaches across the generations to a wide audience. The boys who make up the vocal band Libera have been described as 'normal' and 'ordinary'. However, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is truly extraordinary. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have ever heard. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time. The singers of Libera who are aged seven to sixteen attend many different local schools in South London and come from a variety of backgrounds. Although they are boys and they sing, they do not think of themselves as choirboys, but rather as an alternative kind of boy band. While the unique sound of Libera may be impossible to pigeonhole, its universal appeal has endeared the group to fans all over the world. 'When I heard them sing - it actually took me to tears' - Brian Wilson (Beach Boys)
