$14.15 It adds a distinctive twist to the music that may tweak the sensibilities of classical purists, but fans of Enya and similar performers will be delighted "Te Lucis" is based on Canon by Tallis.
Nevertheless, the dance aspects of this music cannot be ignored. Selection recorded at Gateway Studios, London England and Music Place Studios.
Soaring classical vocals, ancient liturgical texts and a hip-hop beat make Libera's self-titled debut album a fascinating blend of the past and future of music. Two tracks in particular are based on previous works: Sanctus owes its inspiration to Canon by Pachelbel and bears a definite resemblance despite its quicker tempo. Electronic drums and keyboards and unique vocal arrangements contemporize the Latin subject matter.
The focus of the music is quite definitely on the voices of Libera; the instrumentation is there for support and is at times quite inobtrusive.
