Gaudeamus omnes by Giacomo Battistini — Lyrics
About Gaudeamus omnes
This motet is suitable for occasions celebrating a particular saint or the Virgin Mary, as suggested by the opening text, 'Gaudeamus omnes in Domino diem festum celebrantes' ('Let us all rejoice in the Lord, celebrating the feast day'). The composer Giacomo Battistini has crafted a festive SATB setting in Latin, ideal for services or concerts. The text expresses joy and praise, particularly focusing on the delight of angels and archangels in honour of saints or Mary. The piece would fit well into a programme of sacred music, particularly during seasons honouring the saints or Marian feasts.
