Gaudeamus Igitur

This version was arranged by Thomas Beck

Akademisk kortreff i Oslo, april 2007
Opptak fra lydprøvene

A weekend gathering of 8 academic choirs from different parts of Norway, in april 2007.
This video is from a dress hearsal. I had limited space on my memory card, so that's why the video only includes two verses.

Thanks for comments and ratings! (I initially uploaded this just to share it with people who participated in the event, but it's nice that other people are watching and enjoying it :-)

Sang this today, and thus said my farewell to high school. It's a tradition here that students leaving high school go from class to class, and sing this song. It's an amazing song, makes me feel all sentimental lol

[Prestiisi]

Wow! This might be one of the most international traditions in Europe, a truly great song.

However, here in Finland we sing the "humus" word a little differently.

Yeah, soon it's Vappu (May Day), the greatest annual carnival in Finland: student caps, lots of drinking and songs like this :)

best song and a great ending to the 1951 classic People Will Talk :)

[Eurokazak]

[malicesgossips]

It's kind of creepy, actually, when you translate it.

[Eurokazak]

This is the best international hymn that unites all universities and students in the world. This song will be always in my heart. Vivat Academia! Vivant professores!

extremely outstanding acoustics of the interior !

(and the rendition of course)

[Emmets]

This song was played yesterday in the graduation ceremony of the business faculty in Las Palmas (Spain). I didn't knew that were a tradition also in other countries!

Learned this in 1959; my school song and still remember every word even though I failed Latin miserably.
