Gaudeamus Omnes by Robert Hugill — Lyrics
Gaudeamus omnes in Domino, diem festum celebrantes sub honore Sanctorum omnium: de quorum solemnitate gaudent Angeli, et collaudant Filium Dei.
Exsultate justi in Domino: rectos decet collaudatio.
About Gaudeamus Omnes
Robert Hugill’s Gaudeamus Omnes is a setting of a Latin text drawn from the liturgy for the Feast of All Saints. The composer sets the words inviting joyful celebration of all the saints, noting the delight this solemnity brings to the angels who praise God’s son. The text continues with an exhortation to the righteous to rejoice in the Lord, stating that praise is fitting for the upright. This motet is written for double SATB choir, providing a rich and sonorous palette for the composer’s devotional expression. The choral writing is both demanding and rewarding, creating an expansive sound world for this sacred text.
