  • This is really good.  No faulty Latin pronunciation to worry about, anyway. :)

    I wish there were a video of the choir playing this.

  • So do I. Unless we were performing somewhere high-profile, we were rarely videotaped.

  • Gaudete ("Rejoice") is a sacred Christmas carol, composed sometime in the 16th century. The song was published in a collection of Finnish/Swedish sacred songs published in 1582. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the composer(s) of Piae Cantiones have been forgotten way back.

    Do however notice the historical similarity with Carmina Burana composed by Carl Orff (abt. 1934-35) where the actual texts were from 1100-1200.

  • @Peilai2 By "old consort", do you mean a musical group that you performed with, or an old "amiable consort", in the 17th/18th century sense of "spouse"? :)

  • @lichtbroeder If "Old consort" refers to his wife, she must have been the only accompanist he needed with 2 recorders (acoustic, not electronic I presume), 2 viols, a sackbut and percussion! Think of how busy she must have been by the the end of the concert!

    I did enjoy this recording immwnsely. I have choral recordings of this, including one, my favorite, by Libera.

  • great job!

  • Love this piece. My old consort used to play this.  2 recorders, 2 viols, sacbut, percussion

  • E' solo un carillon, nient'altro...

  • who is the composer?

  • 1st Presbyterian Caldwell, NJ does this at Service also and it is so uplifting!

  • Well done! I'm learning tune ringing on handbells and it's really hard! This is impressive!
