@atheistphilosophy1 In academic Latin, yes, you are correct. But this is Church Latin with pronunciations similar to modern Italian.
-
but you're right about the song thing. My school just uses v's all the time.
-
@XelaMon1 actually, there are two different types of latin: ecclesiastical and classical. classical uses w's, while ecclesiastical uses v's.

@atheistphilosophy1 Pronunciation of the Latin language is different when singing than when you are translating/writing in Latin. I take Latin at my high school and am in its choir and run into these types of issues all the time. For example, when writing/translating Latin the word Ave would be pronounced Awe. however, when we sing the Ave Maria, Ave is always pronounced with the normal v sound.

virgine is pronounced wrong - in latin, vs are pronounced as ws.

Lovely



Finally! Someone with the right version of Gaudete by the Mediaeval Baebes!
Merry Christmas! Gaudete!

Amazing, and that's from a cultural protestant atheist. I keep coming back to this track, I may be a confirmed atheist but some things from religion are truly beautiful.
