Libera is a
non-profit all-boy English vocal group directed by Robert Prizeman. Most
members come from the parish choir of St. Philip's, Norbury, in South London. The albums, tours and TV
appearances they do as Libera are in addition to their regular singing as part
of the full choir of men and boys at parish choral services. They come from a
variety of backgrounds in the London area, attending many different
schools, including local state schools, church schools and performing arts
schools. Libera recruits boys from any religious denomination and even those
with no religious affiliations. Most join between the ages of seven and ten,
however older boys may join if they have the appropriate singing abilities.
According
to a Songs of Praise TV special that aired January 25, 2009, the group has approximately 40
members between the ages of seven and 16, including new boys who are not yet
ready to fully participate in albums or tours. Nineteen boys participated in
their 2008 US tour. Twenty-four boys sang for the
album New Dawn.
The group's
name comes from its signature song. "Libera," which is based on the
Libera Me portion of the Requiem Mass. "Libera" is the Latin word for
"free".
