Work introduction
Gaudete, gaudete! is a sacred Christmas carol thought to have been composed
in the 16th century. It was published in 'Piae Cantiones' , a collection of Finnish/ Swedish sacred songs in 1582. The Latin text is a typical medieval song of praise which I have reflected by incorporating a sequence of mild charismatic dissonances evolving through shifting modalities. The singing level for Gaudete, gaudete! is intermediate.
