This is one of the songs that will be sung today on Saint Lucias day 🙂
One of my favorites.

“Gaudete” (English pronunciation: /ˈɡaÊŠdeɪteɪ/; “rejoice” in Latin) is a sacred Christmas carol, composed sometime in the 16th century. The song was published in Piae Cantiones, a collection of Finnish/Swedish sacred songs published in 1582. No music is given for the verses, but the standard tune comes from older liturgical books.The Latin text is a typical medieval song of praise, which follows the standard pattern for the time – a uniform series of four-line stanzas, each preceded by a two-line refrain (in the early English carol this was known as the burden). Carols could be on any subject, but typically they were about the Virgin Mary, the Saints or Christmastide themes.

sblake,
Yesterday my friends and I were trying to figure all this out. I wish I had checked my e-mail, and all our questions would have been answered.
Thank you!!
