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 omnes in Domino
Teodoro Riccio's motet Gaudeamus omnes in Domino is set for SATTBB choir. The opening text, 'Gaudeamus omnes in Domino diem festum celebrantes' (Let us all rejoice in the Lord, celebrating the feast day), immediately establishes a mood of jubilant praise. The subsequent lines of the text, which vary across different liturgical contexts, speak of rejoicing in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the Saints, Saint Stephen, or Saint Thomas the Martyr, with angels and archangels joining in praise to the Son of God. This SATTBB setting offers rich harmonic possibilities, with the composer exploring the interplay of the six voice parts to create a resonant and celebratory sound.
