Gaudeamus (Assumptio) by Heinrich Isaac — Lyrics
Gaudeamus omnes in Domino diem festum celebrantes
Variant 1 ()
in honorem beatae Mariae Virginis,
de cujus Assumptione gaudent Angeli
et collaudant Archangeli Filium Dei.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum; dico ego opera mea Regi.
Gloria Patri…
Variant 2 ()
sub honore Sanctorum omnium:
de quorum solemnitate gaudent angeli, et collaudant Filium Dei.
Ps. Exsultate iusti in Domino: rectos decet collaudatio.
Gloria Patri…

About Gaudeamus (Assumptio)
Heinrich Isaac’s Gaudeamus (Assumptio) is a sacred motet for SATB choir singing in Latin. Suitable for entrance at a feast day, the text begins with an exhortation to rejoice in the Lord. Depending on the variant chosen, the rejoicing may be in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption or Nativity, or in honour of all Saints, Saint Stephen, or Saint Thomas. The music celebrates the joy of angels and archangels in contemplating the Son of God, fitting for occasions celebrating the saints or Mary.
