About the music
Gaudete, meaning ‘rejoice’, is a medieval carol related to the third Sunday of Advent, known as ‘Gaudete Sunday’. The song was first published in about 1582 in a Scandinavian volume called Piae Cantiones. The simple tune of each verse is answered by the pithy refrain or ‘burden’, harmonized in this version by Brian Kay.

How many souls over the years has this touched
If there's a soundtrack in Heaven , this would be a hint of how it'll sound !
Of all the versions that are floating around on YT, I like this best. Perfect in every regard.
Could not agree more - many are too fast and the diction at the end of the lines is PISS POOR!!!
I was going to say exactly this!!!!
Why can I like it only once?
Finally a group that pronounces the Latin CORRECTLY!! and sings it magnificently! Bravo!
Wonderful soloists and performance.
This piece has a real swing to it!
Just what I need to hear on a very gloomy December morning
Outstanding, well done chaps.
Gaudete, gaudete!
Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine,
Gaudete!
Tempus adest gratiæ
Hoc quod optabamus,
Carmina lætitiæ
Devote reddamus.
Deus homo factus est,
Natura mirante.
Mundus renovatus est
A Christo regnante.
Ezechielis porta
Clausa pertransitur
Unde lux est orta;
Salus invenitur.
Ergo nostra cantio
Psallat iam in lustro.
Benedicat Domino.
Salus Regi nostro.
beautiful, thank you
❤THANKS.
I checked this out with an expert in pronunciation of "Ecclesiastical" Latin and he says it's perfect. (And so is the singing of course!).
So very elegant, phrase endings perfect, the tempo is also just right- moving but not clipped, lovely solo's with lush accompanying voices and those seamless crecendo's Bravo
I totally agree with everything you say!
Beautiful! Excellent arrangement, as well.
We sing this at Christmas in the traditional Missa Cantata Midnight Mass.
This is so wonderful.
Brilliant intonation, wonderful music.
Gioite, Gioite, perché Cristo è nato dalla Vergine Maria✝️
Absolutely lovely! Aloha from Hawai'i a me Mele Kalikimaka!
Wonderful. And what an extraordinarily beautiful voice a counter tenor is when so superbly modulated and blended in as here.
Martin Humphreys: Could you please tell me when this song was composed?
🕊🌟🕊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
🙏💜🙏

Supreme. I’ve almost run out of superlatives to describe your videos.
Sublime.
WOW... boys can Saang...
Spot on! sounds amazing!
So smart in term of melodies thank you
amazing falsetto voice to the guy on the very very left of the screen. I can just hear it amongst the other voices.
Yes, pretty spectaluar!
Guy James is one of my two favourite countertenors, and he's such a lovely fellow.
Have u heard this one david on the left is going the high notes ua-cam.com/video/2KSxg9Ij5r8/v-deo.html
@@jamcam9 He is @gletara on Twitter also @JosephmWickes @michaeljcraddock and @owainpark.
For goodness sake, call him a countertenor. You're giving me flashbacks of Tiny Tim with that falsetto business.
9 months later...this is the most lovely, heart felt, not forced, great tempo, and clear vowels...phew! Mahalo again....
Wow wow wow!
Brilliant
It's always wonderful to hear from you...
Greetings from Brazil.
Нет слов! Прекрасное исполнение
Exquisite...thank you 🙏
Fabulous!!
Beautiful
I have to imagine the angels or the aliens, hear music this incredible from the farthest reaches of the galaxy and show up.
Perfection !
I’ll take all of that ! Thanks
Just WOW!
Stunning! Not said lightly.
Speechless!!!
Good stuff
A stunning performance! But one little gripe about the description: This tune is not related to Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete Sunday is in the season of Advent, which happens BEFORE Christmas. The introit for Gaudete Sunday says ‘Gaudete in Domino semper; iterum dico: gaudete. Modestia vestra nota sit omnibus hominibus: Dominus enim prope est. Nihil solliciti sitis: sed in omni oratione petitiones vestræ innotescant apud Deum. (English: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men: for the Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous; but in every prayer let your requests be made known to God.) Gaudete Sunday is a day of rejoicing because the Lord is NEAR, not because the Lord is HERE.
Contrast that with the words of this tune: Gaudete Gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine, Gaudete! (English: Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary, Rejoice!) This is a tune of celebration because the Lord is born, and is here, rather than he is near and will come.
Perfect Perfect Perfect
Superb.
Perfection.
Wow!
superbe
Wow
Please sing this when in Charleston next year, one of my faves!
Francis Cabrel une maison bleue

Fantastic as always. Has Alex Chance left?
Il testo in latino lo pubblicate? Grazie
Hey, where's Alex? I haven't seen him in any of your videos in a while!
It's not the King's Singers, but it's okay. And lads, smile 😃
You're just begging for someone to make a shreds version of this
Oh, I'll bite. I'm a boomer. What do your words mean, "begging to make a "shreds" version"?
Almost as good as the King's Singers
Nah, this is better than the King's Singers version.
Seems to be a matter of taste then. Do you know the King's Singers version with some additional brass? That's even better.
That arrangement doesn't work for me. All descant, missing the essential bass line. And re-jiggering the rhythm is another loss. The groove's gone missing.
