“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep”

R.I.P. Robert Prizeman

The song IF were written by Michael Nyman to text by Roger Pulvers and for inclusion in the Japanese animated feature film "The Diary of Anne Frank" (1995), director Seiya Araki. During World War II, a teenage Jewish girl named Anne Frank and her family are forced into hiding in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands.
Libera gave the song a new level. Great job Libera, great job Daniel White.

If
If … at the sound of wish
The summer sun would shine
And if … just a smile would do
To brush all the clouds from the sky

If … at the blink of an eye
The autumn leaves would whirl
And if … you could sigh a deep sigh
To scatter them over the earth

I'd blink my eyes
And wave my arms
I'd wish a wish
To stop all harm

If … at the wave of a hand
The winter snows would start
And if … you could just light a candle
To change people's feelings and hearts

I'd whisper love
In every land
To every child
Woman and man

That's what I'd do
If my wishes would come true
That's what I'd do
If my wishes could come true

I just now discovered this new delight. Such gifts of music. Like an island oasis of harmony in a sea of discordant noise. Thank you virtuous muscians for using your gifts to create something beautiful in the universal language of uplifting music. The boys also are the sound of hope. This counts as a powerful addition to uplifting choral content such as the The Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. Now I have another favorite.

What an amazing voice. Daniel sings very good!! I'm a fan. Beautiful! It's time for a new concert in the Netherlands!

I really enjoyed attending the performance on 8/3/23 at Bel Air Church, It's always fun to make your wishes come true. When Libera returns again to the US I wish to attend multipool performances, hopefully all of them.

A beautiful song and beautifully performed by Daniel. It is so sad that Robert has passed away but he would be very proud of this song and performance.

A real genius who will be sadly missed. RIP Robert Prizeman

[wolfman]

Libera have been one of my wishes come true for several years...their singing is like what I can only imagine what it sounds like in heaven.

[chef]

Well done Daniel on a fantastic solo performance really proud of you

[popopoyatsuu]

I've always liked Libera since I was little. I'm looking forward to the album release.
I love Libera！！

[Miiinamnam]

There singing voices makes me feel peaceful and calm.

SInce comments are allowed again I would like like to thank everyone in Libera for this work. I'm sure this wasn't an easy recording to make due to the pandemic, but despite everything you are giving us a new highly hyped album. I think it probably took a little bit longer than usual, some soloists voices broke in the meantime, but the album is here and we cannot be happier! And please, consider a vinyl version 😉.

What a beautifully melancholic song! And congratulations, Daniel, for your work as a soloist. Admirable.
