Well, I can't understand why in every perfomance of "Gaudete" just every performer sings "virginae" with english pronunciation just like in the word "virgin". I't not english [g] -in latin "g" it's just like in english word "game" or "go" etc.
In classical Latin "c" and "g" were always pronounced hard. It was roughly in the 4th century AD when these two consonants acquired their present dual nature, with "soft" sounds before e or i. The performances of which you speak are using Medieval pronunciation, in which "c" and "g" are pronounced the same as in modern Italian. In French and Spanish the Italian "ch" sound for soft "c" moved further forward to become "ts" and ultimately "s" (or "th" in European Spanish).
It's not only about "g" or "c" it's about sound of entire carol ( when I hear "ey" at the end of "virgin" - it disgusts me a lot) . I've learnt latin for 5 years (at the university) and such pronauncation really annoys me. Let the latin be latin - not english-latin, spanish-latin, etc. And here is the splendid example of proper pronaunciation of "Gaudete" carol, exactly just as it should sound in LATIN:
Remarkable. I was upset and moody before I listened to this. I came out feeling calm, happy, and light. Music truly is a powerful thing. This is an amazing song. Thank you.
@2groomer thanks, the person filming was just a Dad along for the trip to Stockholm. The girls did well, they have each gone their own ways now, each in a different city studying
Wow, nice singing! These young ladies sound very talented and harmonize together very well. Gives me goose bumps listening to this style of medieval music!
I am not religious, never heard music like this befor and never took notice on things like this befor. I accedently stumbled accross this and wow. Just wow. they are amazing.
I just found Downloads available on Amazon. Wonderful. I'll be selecting some.
Thanks!
