Translating a World on the Edge

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

Libera is an all-boy English vocal group directed by Robert Prizeman. Libera regularly performs concerts in many countries, including the UK, the US and Asia, and regularly makes recordings for their own album releases and other projects.

Many members also sing in the parish choir of St. Philip’s, Norbury, in South London. The group usually consists of approximately 40 members between the ages of seven and sixteen, including new members who are not yet ready to fully participate in albums or tours. Libera recruits from a variety of backgrounds in the London area, and does not require its members to belong to any specific denomination.

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 singular imperative of “liberare”, meaning “to free”.
