Attribuita a Bernardo de Clairvaux 1090 - 1153, LAETABUNDUS EXSULTET FIDELIS, Studio della Sequenza gregoriana, di Giovanni Vianini, Milano, Italia, www.cantogregoriano.it, la sequenza si trova a pagina 31 del libro Cantus selecti ed. Abbazia di Solesmes, Francia, Desclèe e Co. Tournai Belgium
In a book on hymns it says:
The sequence, Laetabundus (E. H., No. 22) is a musical composition of the highest technique in the Seventh and Eighth Modes transposed ; the melodic figures are peculiarly graceful and admirably conjoined and balanced ; the contrasts too between the pairs of verses are exceedingly
well managed. The unknown Composer, who probably lived before the time of the Norman Conquest, had nothing to learn fiom us in melodic construction...
Done by Mr. Vianini it sounds easy!
