    Gaudete:
    (Chorus) Rejoice, rejoice! Christ is born
    Of the Virgin Mary - rejoice!
    1. The time of grace has come - what we have wished for,
    songs of joy let us give back faithfully.
    2. God has become man, with nature marveling,
    The world has been renewed by Christ who is reigning.
    3. The closed gate of Ezekiel is passed through,
    Whence the light is raised, salvation is found.
    4. Therefore let our gathering now sing in brightness
    Let it give praise to the Lord: greeting to our King.

      Except for the English accent, that makes Gaudete sound like Gaurethe to my Romance ears, it's fine. In a proper Romance/Mediterranean pronunciation, T is not as aspirated as in German and English, and D is dental. It should sound more like this: ua-cam.com/video/_UO_xOd7fn4/v-deo.html

      @@luizfelipe5399 It should not sound like that. Latin was like English today and it was pronounced in many ways depending when, where and for what purpose it was used. This is the originel Finnish way for Piae Cantiones (pronounce "cantiones", not canziones): ua-cam.com/video/A1e8mOl5YuQ/v-deo.html

      @UCI8bLUo7rz-TwkrkiiczKEw I ment the link you sent "It should sound more like this ..." Christmas songs from the USA and England have different English pronunciations. If you have an old song, maybe traditional instruments ang clothings, why not to use the original pronunciation. In the choirs I have song renaissance songs are song by the old Latin and more modern songs by modern Latin. Old Italian Latin has been different than German Latin and so on.

    There are a slew of versions of this song on UA-cam, but I really love this one for how it cleaves to the raw simplicity and sincerity with which I must imagine the song was originally performed. These other versions have a huge range of inventive instrumental and even vocal embellishments, but to me, they too often veer into the theatrical and incohesive. This version proves my suspicion that by and large, any ornamentation of this beautiful song is really gilding the lily.

    There's always a different quality to the music when the singers believe the words coming out of their mouths. You all seem to have that. It's not strictly speaking part of the musical art, but it certainly comes out in a more beautiful sound. I know this was a few years ago, but this is one of the better performances of this piece that I'm hearing this Christmas(now epiphany)tide. Rage and scheme though the nations will, the scoffers still cannot mimic the beauty that comes only from above. Keep singing, for perhaps in those words they will hear and believe and share also in our Joy. Gaudete fideles! Christus vivit.
