Líbera me ("Deliver me") is a Roman Catholic responsory that is sung in the Office of the Dead and at the absolution of the dead, a service of prayers for the dead said beside the coffin immediately after the Requiem Mass and before burial. The text of Libera Me asks God to have mercy upon the deceased person at the Last Judgment. In addition to the Gregorian chant in the Roman Gradual, many composers have written settings for the text, including Tomás Luis de Victoria, Anton Bruckner (two settings), Giuseppe Verdi, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, Igor Stravinsky, Benjamin Britten, Krzysztof Penderecki and David Maslanka.
Libera Me is begun by a cantor, who sings the versicles alone, and the responses are sung by the choir. The text is written in the first person singular, "Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that fearful day," a dramatic substitution in which the choir speaks for the dead person.
In the traditional Office, Libera Me is also said on All Souls' Day (2 November) and whenever all three nocturns of Matins of the Dead are recited. On other occasions, the ninth responsory of Matins for the Dead begins with "Libera me", but continues with a different text (Domine, de viis inferni, etc.).

libera me / אלן קאבלייר (1993) Exploring a dystopian future which has parallels to those found in Brazil, Fahrenheit 451, and 1984, this film, tells of a place where a military junta has taken control and requires people to think, speak, and act in precise ways: anyone who fails to do so is killed. The story is told entirely without the use of spoken dialogue. Symbolic imagery replaces much of what would have been spoken in a narrative, establishing the situation and setting. In the story, two brothers are part of an underground organization opposed to the totalitarian regime. Members of the underground identify themselves using pieces of torn photographs. Reviewers found that the story is told intelligibly and quite swiftly, despite the absence of dialog, but is not quite lively enough...

The bombing raid nicknamed "Operation Moonlight Sonata" in November of 1940 by the Germans in World War Two destroyed a cathedral that stood in Coventry, England since the Middle Ages. As a celebration of the cathedral being rebuilt, Benjamin Britten, England's most influential and celebrated composer, and as a leader of 20th century music, was commissioned to write a piece of music commemorating the occasion. Britten wrote his most celebrated vocal piece, and some believe the greatest work of the 20th century, War Requiem. Performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with Robert Shaw conducting.

Dreams that I can't trace
Pull my heart away
From love I long to taste
Why do I run away
When I come face to face
With anything I need?
And I am so afraid
If I keep hoping
There will come a day
When my heart is open
That you will walk away
Like you were never there
And I don't know all the truth
From the lying
But I know that I need you
'Cause I am dying
From bein' held by hell
In this cell of blinding fear
Libera, libere, liberame
From this dark dream
To the life stream
Libera, libera, liberame
From this bruised soul
Living half whole
Libera, libera, liberame
I know there is a place
Free from no borders
Before I turn this grace
Into disorder
I've got to find a way
Out of this chaos
And I don't know all the truth
From the lying
But I know that I need you
'Cause I am dying
From being held by hell
In this cell of blinding fear
Libera, libera, liberame
From this dark dream
To the life stream
Libera, libera, liberame
From this bruised soul
Living half whole
Libera, libera, liberame
Let the truth break
What my fears make
Libera, libera, liberame
From this dark dream
To the life stream
