Overview

In various commercial incarnations since 1984, the Anglican boys choir of St. Philips, Norbury -- aka Libera -- have worked in support roles for various film scores as well as their own choral releases since the 1990s. By 2008, though many of the members had left the choir (and some had remained as accompanists in instrumental roles), Libera were still popular in classical crossover circles. Eternal collects various hits from throughout the choir's history, with religious pieces, classical pieces, and a few secular pieces (such as Enya's "Orinoco Flow") represented. The compilation also includes four new tracks as a bonus. ~ Adam Greenberg
