Gaudeamus omnes

From ChoralWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Background

The Gregorian introit Gaudeamus omnes is among the oldest melodies of the repertoire, and with minor adjustments is used for several different feasts in the Latin rite: the California missionary Narciso Duran went so far as to adapt it to all 52 Sundays in a choirbook preserved at Berkeley's Bancroft Library.
