Gaudeamus omnes by Giovanni Croce — 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 omnes
Giovanni Croce's Gaudeamus omnes is a festive motet for double choir (SATB.SATB) in Latin. The opening immediately establishes a sense of jubilant praise, with the two choirs engaging in an antiphonal dialogue that builds considerable excitement. The text, celebrating a joyous occasion, is treated with energetic rhythms and bright harmonies, characteristic of Croce's polychoral style. The piece is designed to project a grand and celebratory sound, perfectly suited for occasions of great solemnity or rejoicing. Its sonorous textures and dynamic writing make it a powerful addition to any sacred choral program.
