After seeing this clip, I binge-watched about a dozen other renditions of this piece by other performers, mostly adult opera singers. What can I say, nothing moved me the same as this one. Nothing compares to you, Libera 💗

[@jmitterii2]

A decade ago I did the same thing. Got some songs I play in my car still today.

Absolutely mind blowing isn't it ? What about "time." Wow ! Bottle of malbec and this makes me cry !

[@alexanderkuptsov6117]

The impression of the first exposure is often unbeatable, this is how it works for me when it comes to that sort of music.

[@lancelotdufrane]

Young boys voices have a very unique quality. Soft yet strong. The high notes are incredible. Truly beautiful.

[@reenougle]

Yikes! Just gorgeous! That boy’s breath control is phenomenal.

[@ju2545]

Not only does he have a great voice, he also has a great personality! I just met him two weeks ago and he’s actually super nice. And he’s super talkative too lol he actually talked to me the most out of all the boys.

[@argustuft2394]

3:42 His absolutely flawless progression to a higher and higher pitch with such beautiful clarity and control ultimately soars above the mundane to echo the music of the spheres and channel the voice of God. It moved me to tears. Bravo.

[@soniaramos91]

I can tell that these boys have clearly practiced a lot. Their voices are magnificent. I can feel moved as they sing. Phenomenal job boys. Keep singing. God has truly blessed you all.

[@ludrazelena9572]

I consider it one of the key compositions of contemporary Libera. Thank you Dominik for his great solo and professional approach.

[@user-jg9rp5qf4g]

To be fair though, this is cover of the original Cum Dederit by Vivaldi. You can see some other amazing covers of it on KZbin, but this is the only treble cover I've seen.

[@charlesmcdauel3799]

O.M.G. What amazing breath control !!! I'm speechless.

[@BritishAnts]

Pure class! Not heard vocals this exquisite from Libera since the late 90’s! Not to undermine previous works or artists but solo and accompanying singers are singing an A game! Well done, you should all be proud, this is pure excellence!

[@ssnarashi]

Late 90s? Who?

[@BritishAnts]

@@ssnarashi go back to their earlier works, they where called St Phillips if you go back to far! Lol :)

[@martinmayhew145]

@@BritishAnts There have been great singers at Libera since Liam O'Kane, Adam Harris days. Steven Geraghty who directs now, was a very good singer as were 2007 group like Joshua's Madine, Ben Philipp etc. Ralph Skan etc in 2010. Isaac London, Thomas Delgado-Little, Ciaran Bradbury-Hickey of recent years are excellent singers, as are these one's today

[@BritishAnts]

I have all those cd’s too! Showing my age! Lol ❤

[@WaldiePort]

I have heard a number fo versions of Cum Dederit - this version can stand proudly beside the rest of them Dom's breath control and purity of voice is absolutely amazing

[@JoseighBlogs]

This diminutive trilling fellow has a precocious intelligence in his singing ~ you see it in his intent, his concentrated nodding-head delivery. He's fully involved with the singing of the song he's been tutored overtimes to sing again and again. Masterful is this little Libera maestro. 🙂

[@giselaleat5455]

I so LOVE this! That soloist has the most amazing voice control - how on earth does he hold those very long notes and not lose voice qualty and/or volume - and the whole arrangement is beautiful. I have this on repeat at the moment, and it sends shivers down my spine!!!!

[@user-fl1wm6io8g]

Special mention to all the formers who are still there.

Cum dederit allowed Dominik to fully demonstrate his singing talent and abilities. I hope that his singing career will continue into adulthood. I also want to highly commend the direction and visual design of the video. The boys give a perfect focused performance. The angle of the boys' attitude and the turning of their heads towards the camera is very impressive.

[@maestrovoci7214]

It's a rare music video that is so perfect in every aspect as to elicit the admiration of those of us fortunate enough to find it. Sam Coates's arrangement, the orchestra's giving this aria such a perfect frame, but of course, most of all is the musical, exceptional solo given as a God-gift to us by Dominik Clarke, a name to remember. I first experienced this video in December, and now it's early February, and many nights I have been called out of sleep with this sound in my ear. Am I alone in finding a deep level of sorrow in this video? So many seem to weep ... maybe it's too beautiful and reaches an unlikely and perhaps unexplored depth in our mortal souls ...

[@liberic1341]
