The concert was mixed classic Libera & Christmas songs but surprisingly more songs on the former. I added a reaction to each performance below plus the boy's speeches in between:
1. Jubilate Deo/Libera - hair raising opener!! Real angels entering.
Barney & Cassius introuduced Josh & Jonathan as the most seniors.
The audience gave them both a thunderous applause.
2. Joy to the World – best version ever! Eccentric harmonies.
3. Still, Still, Still – Ralph, you made me melt! The lady & Japanese girl beside me were unable to hold their tears!!
4. Song of Life – Ralph’s new signiture song but Kavanna was singing more intensely at the center too!
They introduced their mascot, Moose!
5. Sanctus – Luke sang those hard ending notes! Incredible job by the orchestra too!
6-7 Salva & Stay with Me – perfect Daniel! Mathew Alvarez took over from what Liam used to do. Great job!
Jude Collins introduced the orchestra Robert Prizeman on the grand piano (bravo Sir!) & the violins & percussion were amazing!
8. Veni Emmanuel – my God! Josh has a very solid voice!! Everyone was stunned watching his close-ups as he sang almost the entire song. We wanted to give a standing ovation too but they were gonna sing the next song already.
9. Exsultate – Stefan is doing the nice solo now but we all saw on the big screen how expressively Mini Ben sang his signiture song.
10. Carol of Bells – we all saw this live on tv but the audience still gaped in awe!
11. Gloria - like real angels rejoicing heaven’s glory!
Barney & Cassius (I think) doing a comedy act to the crowd’s delight
12. The Fountain – this song is even better live. Bravo again Ralph!
13. Eternal Light – the crowd’s longer than usual applause speaks for itself! After this I doubt if anyone present would still want to listen to other artist.
14. Sing the Story – so proud of Luke. Last year he humbly introduced himself to me as the new kid. Now he takes over a Michael Horncastle classic and nails it!
Liam was immediately given a booming applause before he even began talking. Well deserved for this Libera future hall of famer.
15. Ave Verum – we want to hear from Carlos more!! Josh stood at the pyramid’s apex at the end of this
16. In Dulci Jubilo – christmas song with most hamonies. I can never stop listening to this.
17. Glory to Thee – Eoghan even better than his performance in Chicago. He looked so relaxed on the big screen.
“Maraming salamat po! Mahal namin ang Pilipinas.” (Thank you very much. We love the Philippines.) Us Filipinos never heard this said any cuter than this!
18. How shall I sing this Majesty – the power of this song sung live was like making the audience experience cosmic consciousness.
The audience never stopped the cracking applause till the boys sang again.
19. White Christmas – Stefan sang this so expressively the audience can not help but applaud in the middle
20. “Malamig ang Simoy ng Hangin” (as popularly known but real title is Himig ng Pasko) – my favorite Filipino carol now sung by my favorite artist. Result: Explosive Standing Ovation. Wow Ralph and what an ending done by Isaac!
The boys were asking me at the signing if I liked the whole concert, specially the ending: Boys, you all made me speechless to react. Honestly, it’s beyond words what me and everyone else feel.
Thank you so much Libera for the most incredible evening. Btw, Mini Ben I believe, was the most photogenic on the large screens!
