quia ecce, desideratus advenit.
Introite in conspectu eius in exultatione.

About Gaudete omnes
Hieronymus Praetorius's Gaudete omnes is a jubilant motet for double choir (SSATTB), setting a Latin text that calls for rejoicing. The music opens with a sense of grand celebration, echoing the text's message that the 'desired one has arrived'. The intricate interplay between the two choirs builds excitement, perfectly mirroring the instruction to 'enter into his presence with exultation'. This sacred work, composed in the tradition of Renaissance motets, uses the full forces of the double choir to express the profound joy and fulfillment found in the anticipation of a saviour, culminating in a resounding 'Alleluia'.
