The song "Sanctus" is sung in Christian worship at the beginning of the Eucharistic high prayer. This version of Libera is based on the melody of the canon by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), which is the most popular work of the composer.
Some fun facts:
-
Libera has published several versions of the Sanctus over the years.
-
It does not have all words in the original text.
-
It is like a Libera signature song for every concert.
-
The highest note of the song is the top C, which is hit 4 times in Dulcis Vox's cover.
