Gaudeamus Igitur - Orchestration of Ancient Student Song dating back to the 13th Century by Johannes Brahms in 1880 (Opus 80) in the finale of his Academic Festival Overture.
Played here on Technics Synthesizer Organ Keyboard by transgendered musician Denise Hewitt in various synthesised musical modes.
Photo in the opening titles and closing credits was shot by Denise in Budapest, Hungary of the beautiful ceiling decorations & murals in the Szechenyi Thermal Baths.

Traditional Latin Lyrics
Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Ubi sunt qui ante nos
In mundo fuere?
Vadite ad superos
Transite in inferos
Hos si vis videre.
Vita nostra brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter
Rapit nos atrociter
Nemini parcetur.
Vivat academia!
Vivant professores!
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra quaelibet
Semper sint in flore.
Vivant omnes virgines
Faciles, formosae.
Vivant et mulieres
Tenerae amabiles
Bonae laboriosae.
Vivat et respublica
et qui illam regit.
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas
Quae nos hic protegit.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Pereat tristitia,
Pereant osores.
Pereat diabolus,
Quivis antiburschius
Atque irrisores.
