Libera Sanctus: The Story Behind the Creation and Composition of the Song

The group's name comes from its signature song, "Libera", which is based on the "Libera Me" portion of the Requiem Mass.[which?] Libera is the Latin singular imperative of liberare, meaning "to free".

V. Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. 2ff7e9595c
