St. philips boys' choir libera at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in December 2007. The St. philips boys' choir from Norbury, South London, England, is the most recent A children's choir that continues to grow in popularity. They first came into the public eye as the Children's Choir of San Felipe, dating back to 1984 when they sang harmonies for Sal Solo in his song San Damiano. In 1988, they released their first album Sing For Ever under the name of St. Philip's Children's Choir. In 1990, the choir changed its name to Angel voices and released Angel voices-new day. In the following years, it was Released three albums in the Angel Voices series (1993 angel voices, 1996 angel voices 2, 1997 angel voices 3-christmas album) and their rearrange version (1996 angel voices-peace on earth).

When it comes to children's choirs, the first thing people think of is the vienna boys' choir and their sweet, bright and fresh children's voices, but Libera's music is fundamentally different from them. It can be seen from the name of St. philips boys' choir that libera originated from the church choir. Early music was mostly in the form of church hymns, giving people a quiet and mysterious feeling. If the Angel Voices series is still mainly based on classical and church music styles, then the three albums released after the choir changed its name to Libera have greatly increased the proportion of New Age elements, and this trend is still developing, so that in the New Age After the release of the free album, a fan directly defined Libera's music as New Age Vocal.

There are also many people who think Libera's music is a fusion of classic, church and new age. After breaking through tradition and pioneering innovation, this group of highly trained and talented people from the UK are now further leading the new trend of world music. 'Libera' is not just a youth choir, but also a kind of conceptual thinking and an innovative language of music. It's difficult to define it with an existing musical style, so we prefer to use the word 'Libera' itself to define their musical style. 'Libera' creates a new realm for classical music and presents a future image of spiritual liberation. Libera's music successfully combines the innocence and simplicity of children's music, the quiet mystery of church music and the ethereal nature of new age, giving people a unique listening experience. This is why many of Libera's albums have been on the major audio and video sales for a long time. This is why the website Classical CD Best Seller Billboard has a sales record of 200,000 in Europe, and has swept across Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea with its incredible charm.
