The exciting new 32-track double album, Eternal – The Best of Libera, was released by EMI Classics on 15 December 2008. We are offering you the opportunity to win your very own copy!
The twenty-odd boys who make up Libera are each between seven and fourteen years of age and attend local schools in South-West London. 'Normal’ boys, they love to play football, skateboard and listen to R’n’B and punk music. But through their involvement in Libera, they have travelled the world, recorded movie soundtracks and CDs and served as backing singers to mega-stars like Bjork, Elton John and Pavarotti.
Eternal – The Best of Libera contains 26 Libera favourites drawn from earlier releases, as well as four brand new tracks: 'Mother of God’, 'Gaudete’, 'You Were There’ and 'How can I keep from singing?’ The collection also features two remixed songs previously only available as digital downloads and released here for the first time on CD.
Libera’s recording of the popular song of inspiration, 'How can I keep from singing?’, has been used in the Waitrose Christmas TV ad campaign, and they also performed 'Gaudete’ on the Aled Jones Christmas Carols TV show, which was broadcasted on Christmas Eve, ITV1.
Libera’s recording of the original song 'You were there’ is the main theme from the Japanese motion picture 'Nobody to watch over me’ (Fuji Television Network, Inc.) to be released this month - January 2009.
Libera will also be the subject of a Songs of Praise special programme presented by Aled Jones to be broadcast on Sunday 25 January 2009 on BBC1. Libera are only the second musical act to be honoured with a Songs of Praise special programme, the last being Katherine Jenkins.
