Latin is eternally beautiful. In a chorus, it is indescribable.
Beautiful celebrations of the birth of our lord Jesus Christ.
how old is it. The hippy on Doctor Who's last xmas show wanted the band to sing it.
What an awesome vocal group. The performance is flawless.
I've listened so often to 'Gaudete' sung by Anùna . It‘s brilliant. I'm going to listen to it again - right now
Thanks a million. My first heart☘
I listen to this performance every year, even though I'm not a Christian - this music is so joyful that I can't simply resist. And the pronunciation is lovely. I admire it even more as a Latinist. :) My teacher showed our class this song a few years ago, and we all appreciated it for its uniqueness and charm. There's nothing odd in it. Some people are just so used to their beliefs on the correct way of speaking that they don't understand it varied and still varies in every time our country, and there's beauty in this.
Thank You again for this Magnificent hymn, A Great Carol at this Christmas.
addendum - if you listen the the soloist, his Latin is virtually perfect - no diphthongs, precise open vowels, and nice dry dental consonants.
+Mark Austin : the gau daytay is ok the v in latin is like w and the g is hard so it is : were gi nay dey wo tay renowahtus in when e tur (virgine,devote,renovatus,invenitur) In anatomy , we had end of term(Michaelmas, Lent and Trinity) oral exam s and we would call it a viva as in Elvis Presley viva las vegas. A smart alec came up to me one time and said you mean a vyva vow chay. He was wrong. It is a whywa woekay in latin no chay sound- that is Italian . jk
+Mark Austin Perfect for what Mark? An Italian? This group aren't Italian, so if they use diphthongs then can you say that in 16th Century Ireland Latin didn't use those? What dialect of Latin would be appropriate at this period? It is possible that he is the only one actually singing incorrectly you know...looking forward to your response.
@@anunachoir And two years on, not a word from Mark....!!
They are using medieval ecclesiastical pronunciation which reflected the people's every day speech , rather than the classical pronunciation that was obsolete at the time this song was written.
perfect by modern received latin pronunciation yes of course, except of course the romans morally objected to the mp3 player so we don't know how they actually spoke
Wishing Everyone around the World & All Freinds & Followers of Annuna a Very “Happy Christmas” & a “Peacefull, Heathly & Prosperous” 2024.
All Our Love from Scotland !!
I for one, loved it. I feel that you all did a terrific job. I attend a Traditional Latin Mass and our choir sang it at the end of Mass last Sunday.
Merry Oops, Happy Christmas
Dominus Vobiscum
I love this version. Thank you so much for bringing this rendition to us on UA-cam!
Massively enjoyable. The only other version I heard long ago by Steeleye Span (qv) Maddy sings striking solo
nice version God bless - Christ is Risen !!!!!!!!!!!!
Coming back to this marvelous piece.
Wonderful arrangement.
I honestly am 100% in love with this song. Flawless in my opinion. I can not get enough of this and your other songs. They have become a blessing in my life
I feel the same way.. Very uplifting..
Is it me or is it slightly faster than steel eye span !?🤔
@@davidtomlinson6138 It's slightly faster. It's actually as close as they got to rock and roll in the middle ages.
Gosh, why not just enjoy the fabulous chorale work. Great unisons within voice parts, strong and full tone through all parts, 'fun' solo voice, well balanced voice parts, warm voices. The only thing I would have liked to make this an outstanding rendition would be a little more contrast in their dynamic plan, it was all pretty much the same volume. Great work. Thank you
I keep coming back to this every year. I love it!
I still come back to this video. It is so wonderful. I absolutely love everything about the arrangement and performance. Sublime.
This group is probably one of my favorites. Haunting, beautiful. Terrific job. Their CDs are well-used in my household. Amazing.
This is an amazing rendition of a most beautiful carol; by far the best on UA-cam. Many congratulations to all the singers.
Always a treat, no matter how many times I come back.
BEAUTIFUL!,,, IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!....
Beautiful, a choir full of pure joy
I love this song this is so beautiful .God bless you guys Thank you.
It is now official that I adore your for your music AND your wit.
This gives me goosebumps.
Brilliant. Beautifully crafted, simply sung, beautiful. Easily my favorite version of this wonderful Medieval carol.
Really beautiful! Anuna is a great vocal group not to be forgotten.
Superb sound from this group. Love it!
I'm watching it over and over again and I'm being amazed every time a bit more, it's wonderful!
I am absolutely hooked. The counter-tenor has a wonderfully clean voice.
Ahhh, he sublime beauty of Latin in chant and song... Bravo!
Wonderful harmony ! The lovely sound of their voices warms the heart.
wonderful and armonious voices. I knew this song since I was very young and now I found it. I love it. I guess is in Latin. I enjoyed it.
I get why people normally don't like diphthongs, but just listen. They are all in time! It is obviously a style choice. They sounds VERY together. As a Latin student, also, I can say the pronunciation of some words are a little spine tingling. But again, they are doing it together and sound great. I love this group and enjoy listening to their pieces and watching them have some fun with the general masses' opinions on something as minuscule as diphthongs.
My favourite version of this ancient carol. Happy Christmas from Ireland!
they are an AMAZING choir, they have a lot of spirit and love the song
This rendition of this song is a masterpiece and very beautiful. Outstanding job with the solo and the choir. Thank you for sharing your musical talents with us.
I like the lead's voice, it's perfect for this song- clear and joyful, like a bell.
This one is one the hit list for top songs in the past one thousand years.
This is Awesome !! Not a Missing Note Or Chord & Most of all There all Enjoying Singing this as ther all Smiling right Through. Brilliant !!
That version is my favorite song. So timeless. 😊
A gorgeous arrangement and beautiful execution. Impressive on so many levels. Every word jumps from the arrangement with crystalline clarity!
what a overwhelming song and prayer in a so amazing northern latin
We have performed this song many ways. I have never heard the words this way. I enjoy the blending of voices so much.
You are a wonderful ensemble singing the most uplifting and engaging music.
That final chord sent chills down my spine..
Very well done!
Easily my favorite version of my favorite carol. ANUNA rocks! :)
I am in love with that song!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!
beautiful - stunning rendition of gaudete - in perfect unison. thank you - namaste ....
Wow. This is such a great version of a great song! It's really fresh and compelling. And I love how the singers have these subtle smiles on their faces. Really, this is an amazing performance.
Fantastic rendition! Thanks for posting.
I am a huge fan of Anuna for several reasons. Firstly, the wonderful quality of the singing. The members really do excellent ensemble work. Secondly, they succeed at bringing to popular consciousness truly great, historic works that are worth listening to. The latter is particularly important in this day and age where so much is forgotten.
Peace.
My school chamber choir performed this song this year and I sang one of the tenor solos. I must say I love this version of the song and was a great comparison to go off with when we performed.
This song is so fun so sing.. we're singing it on Lucia this year with my music class and it's really so much fun.
'Gaudete' is a beautiful carol and brings back fond memories of the Advent Carol Service at Christ Church St Laurence.
beautiful harmony
This is one of my favorite renditions of this.
As, a follow up if i ever win a big lotto win, then I will book you all for a big Christmas party. Your voices just lift the soul and raise one`s spirits, joyous beyond words. God bless you all, wonderful - thank you!
I first heard this performance on MPT's PBS station, they produced the program for PBS. I hoped they would air repeats, but they haven't. I finally broke down and bought the DVD. It arrived in the mail today, a Christmas Present to myself. Now I don't have to wait for PBS, I can just pop the DVD in and enjoy the experience.
beautiful such harmonies !
This is absolutely beautiful.
This is just amazing
Beautiful music and I think the pronunciation is full of feeling and vigour- just as it should be. My brilliant Latin A Level teacher always spoke Latin with a gutsy Italian accent to enhance the meaning. He said it was probably originally spoken with a similar accent - it certainly wasn't pronounced in the high-church manner affected today.
Great stuff! Nicely balanced sound, crisp diction, and lovely warm joyous tone. Love it!
It really is a time capsule.....to a particular time......Peace Be Upon You
I've enjoyed the Kings Singers version of this for many years. This will definitely be added to my playlist. Awesome sound.
the kings singers version is certainly the best I've heard, in my opinion
My choir in high school performed much of Anuna's music and it was a huge hit. The guys did Gaudete and everyone loved it.
WOW I love this song it's great!
awesome performance! I am singing this in my choir now. and its sooo beautiful!
Thank you for helping me to keep my spirits up.
I'm Welsh/Italian, and i know Latin, and I absolutely ove their pronunciation, but most importantly, the harmonics are fantastic, the soloist has a great, clear voice and the over all performance gets a 10 from me 👍🏼.
I love this music!
J'aime beaucoup! C'est un très beau chant, très harmonieux, avec un parfait équilibre concernant la répartition entre les hommes et les femmes, puisqu'on a autant de femmes que d'hommes, huit. Et les chanteuses sont d'une beauté divine!^^
caraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaca... lindo. adorei. lindo mesmo. parabéns ao grupo!
so bloody good
I just cant stop listening to this!
Went and listened to quite a few versions, keep coming back to this one. Feels the most festive, as well as the most powerful. You guys really take the cake when I listen to you sing, hopefully I can track down a live performance sometime in the future.
Best version there is. Beautifully performed!
Very beautiful. God bless 💝💝💝
So much sass from such a good group, don't let these uncultured folk get you down, this is/was incredible.
+mountplusBladeequals It was grand. It sounds completely different now, but it was for a glossy telly production.
I'm an experienced choral singer with a tonne of classical voice training but also deep roots in the folk tradition. Those individuals complaining about the accent on the Latin are overly concerned with a fossilized and (at times) rather precious tradition of "pure" vowels sung according to a contrived church Latin pronunciation. In context, this tradition works. But this is an earthy hymn and would've been sung by earthy people, likely imitating what they had heard from others without even necessarily knowing what the words meant. Besides which, as I remember it, it's from a song collection compiled by Medieval Finns, so God knows how they pronounced Latin. Anyway, see Steeleye Span's highly influential rendition sung in an intentionally visceral (and I believe) "authentic" way..
In WHATEVER foreign language you sing, the listener is NOT supposed to know what your own mother tongue is. Always leave out your own accent. That goes for latin just as much as for german or spanish or french.
@@carolineleiden
Is it a must to leave out your accent? I don't understand the point.
@@carolineleiden but classical Latin was not the kind spoken by the people who wrote this hymn
@@carolineleiden When it comes to Latin, however, the lines are far blurrier. Classical Latin was used by Cicero and the Senator-not the average Roman. You can examine texts from the Roman Empire, even texts by famous Romans such as Augustine of Hippo, saying that there was a large difference between each region of the Empire and how they spoke Latin. And so it was, for the peoples of Europe that came after. Even when the Catholic Church kept Latin alive, there was no universal pronunciation until 1910, when Pope Pius X established an Italianate pronunciation as the one to follow, so before that, people just kept their Latin according to their own dialects and pronunciations. Undoubtedly, an Flemish Latin priest would say Mass different that an Italian Latin priest, and the same went for the British Isles and Ireland.
Add this to the fact that Latin is a language with no native speakers, and the argument you present becomes brittle.

Gostei muito desse coral. A música é empolgante e foi bem cantada. Gostei muito do GRUPO como um todo e dos timbres.
Além disso, essa mulher loira (a 4ª da esquerda para a direita) é linda demais!
Estou ansioso por mais vídeos,
Abraços

One of the first songs I heard performed by anuna and have been hooked ever since. Think I may plan a trip across the pond just to see you guys in person
I found this video a couple years ago from The King's Singers' version of the song and have been hooked on Anúna in particular and Celtic music in general ever since! Thank you so much for putting your beautiful pieces on UA-cam for us to enjoy.
+James W. Ware thanks James. I'm not exactly sure what Celtic music actually is. But you can't have too much of a good thing 😊
+ANÚNA, interesting. As I've heard it, "Celtic" is typically used as a genre-like description to charictarize music that originated from locations where the Celts were prominent. I just had a discussion with some friends about how it doesn't feel like the proper word to describe the genre (it would be as silly as lumping the Beatles and Vaughan Williams together under the "English" genre.) What genre would you consider your style of music? (That is, if it even falls under a single genre.)
+James W. Ware we don't fall in to any category James. That simple fact has both stopped us becoming more successful and sustained us for three decades. Celtic would be completely wrong. Classical, choral, world - new age, all wrong. Just Anúna is grand.
I would love to see them,i wish they would come to the US
chilling, Whimsical, amazing!!!!
Low-key burn right there.
I love your music.
This is such a fun piece to perform. Love it.
I go to a performing arts school and I sing this for choir. I am in love with this song! I can't get enough! This cover is amazing!
+katie wright Thanks Katie!
+katie wright It's absolutely fantastic.
+1daughterific Well - we have loads of Private videos - while it was nice for Hozier fans to see him sing with us, it doesn't really reflect what we do or what we stand for so can be confusing for people coming across us for the first time. Its already caused some issues with venues that we are performing in.
Have to get this as well Michael - superb!!!! Love it.
*listening to so many different versions of this song rn, i love the sopranos*
Superbe interprétation !
thios is a good peice, the music is good quality, the harmoneys are lovely and none of the words are 'harsh' which you sometimes get when people sing in latin, this song's words have a good flow
ALWAYS COMMING TO THIS SONG FOR GAUDETE
I love Anuna's music...I am from India...don't understand a word of the lyrics..but I love the melody ... someday I'd want to learn gaelic...or latin..whichever this is..
the best rendition!!!
Катя Фильманович by far the best rendition is done by The King's Singers, I suggest you give them a listen.
lovely performance
Beautiful version. Phenomenal feature by Aengus, great work
🕊🌟🕊
Yes we rejoice
You sound like angels
🙏💜🙏
💜🎵💜
Ya know, I keep coming back to this as a comforting piece of tuneage after (yet another) frustrating day. It has really become a protective/restorative groove for me.
I take comfort in the words, the arrangement, and--perhaps as a surprise--the space in which it is delivered. Resonance like that is the reason God gave us granite and the engineering science of statics!
man, i would love to hear that live.
