Gaudeamus I by André Vierendeels — 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 I
This setting of Gaudeamus I, for SATB choir, opens with the joyful declaration of rejoicing in the Lord as a festival is celebrated. The text, in Latin, continues by offering reasons for this celebration, referencing the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the feast of All Saints, or the feast of Saint Stephen, among other possibilities. The music likely reflects the celebratory nature of the text, with the angels and archangels praising the Son of God. This piece is suitable as an entrance song within a sacred context.
