Gaudete by Anonymous — Lyrics
Refrain: Gaudete! Gaudete!
Christus est natus ex Maria virgine.
Gaudete!
Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus;
carmina laetitiae devote reddamus.
Refrain.
Deus homo factus est, natura mirante;
mundus renovatus est a Christo regnante.

About Gaudete
This joyful Latin motet, Anonymous's Gaudete, is perfect for Christmas celebrations. Its text, a Marian antiphon, expresses the delight at the birth of Christ, exclaiming "Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary." The music, set for SATB choir, embodies this sentiment with its exuberant refrain and celebratory verses. The composer's identity remains unknown, but the spirit of the piece clearly conveys the wonder of God becoming man and the renewal of the world. It is a spirited and uplifting selection, ideal for bringing a festive atmosphere to any seasonal concert or service.
