@leahnicole117 I was a sop 2 and we all knew we were all going sharp at this performance. our recording of it went much better though.

@Juliad907 I wish we had that in the Netherlands, with young people I mean

@Atomic440 Well, the Roman Catholic pronounciation is / 'ɡaʊ de te /

[Atomic440]

Only criticism is the pronunciation of Gaudete. It should be /ˈɡaʊdeɪteɪ/ with emphasis on the first syllable, typical of Latin. Whereas /'ga:de:te:/ would have been a perfect pronunciation (and I prefer this, in fact) for this arrangement, emphasising the last syllable takes something away from it.

@TheNaveOfCharlemagne Ah! Sorry, actually, I do take that back in part. You really shouldn't sing the ei sound, it sounds terrible.

[TheNaveOfCharlemagne]

Wow, the arrangement is definitely new, but I really liked it. (Though, what is with the way all these different choirs pronounce Gaudete? They all accent the last syllable, and you don't do that in Latin. Also, the penultimate e is pronounced like an English a- ei by the IPA.)
