Christmas is a time for everyone.
The warmth and buzz of the holiday season is the perfect medicine and opportunity to take pause and depart from the chaos of the previous year. No matter how far we’ve drifted apart, the holidays work their magic to bring us close to one another again.
Out of all the elements of the season, carols provide an extra-festive soundtrack to the festivities.
There are thousands of renditions out there, embracing all of the Christmas music that’s been made.
Whether we’re singing it among one another, listening to local carolers or delighting in a celebrity remake, there’s no shortage of spirit this time of year!
But it’s something exceptional when a church choir sings.
After all, Christmas does have its roots in Christianity.
So when a church performs these special songs it’s truly something moving. A choir provides a divine and heavenly element to this beloved music.
Meet the British all-boys choir named Libera.
In a video that’s been circulating the internet, the boys are featured in a dramatic cathedral where they proceed to sing “Carol of the Bells” with their souls!
The results are hauntingly beautiful. The boys of Libera hail from South London and have clearly been blessed with stunning talents. Captivating viewers worldwide, these boys have not hesitated to impress on the hearts of many.
Their mesmerizing rendition of “Carol of the Bells” will give you chills!
Since their rendition was posted in 2019, they’ve received over seven million views.
People from all over are delighting in the gifted beauty of this choir.
Libera’s website describes this blessed group:
“The boys who make up the vocal band Libera have been described as “normal” and “ordinary”. However, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is truly extraordinary. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have ever heard. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time.”
Libera is composed of boys aged from seven to 16. Together, their voices lift songs far beyond this world.
One listen and you’ll be automatically be transported by their heavenly harmonies!
The boys attend a variety of different schools around South London and come from a variety of different backgrounds.
Their website explains that even though they are boys and they sing, they prefer to view themselves as a sort of alternative boy-band instead of choirboys.
In the video, Libera performs this beloved Christmas song from within St. Augustine’s Church in Kilburn, London.
This dramatic backdrop is a sight to behold in itself.
With old-world architecture, this church is often referred to as the “Cathedral of North London.”
The boys line up in matching white robes and deliver the most angelic of voices.
As soon as the boys begin to sing, they set the wheels of Christmas right into motion.
Slowly, they begin to build layers upon layers until the entire church is filled with the most joyful of sounds.
Together, the voices of Libera soar through the open cathedral producing something undisputably divine.
There are many renditions of “Carol of the Bells,” but these boys are bringing it to new heights and doing it pure justice.
