"Gaudete" is an anonymous and traditional Christmas Carol, composed c. 1580 and published in a finnish/swedish in 1582. Originally there's no music for the verses, but it was given by the Church.

This video has been made using the performance by Mediaeval Baebes and some beautiful Renaissance paintings, both early and late.

LYRICS:

CHORUS
/: Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine, gaudete!

Tempus adest gratiæ
Hoc quod optabamus,
Carmina lætitiæ
Devote reddamus.

CHORUS

Deus homo factus est
Natura mirante,
Mundus renovatus est
A Christo regnante.

CHORUS

Ezechielis porta
Clausa pertransitur,
Unde lux est orta
Salus invenitur.

CHORUS

Ergo nostra contio
Psallat iam in lustro;
Benedicat Domino:
Salus Regi nostro

  • awful to hear such a beautiful song with that horrendous american accent

  • Wow, that was really good. I've never heard it sung with only females... I really liked it, but I kinda think that it is missing some of its epicness without guys singing.

  • LOL. It says that at the beginning of the video. Guess I wasn't paying attention :->

  • This version is by the Mediaeval Baebes

  • beautiful song and excellent video slide!

  • The best verison of this song I have ever heard!
