LYRICS:
Gaudeamus omnes in Domino, diem festum celebrantes sub honore Sanctorum omnium:
de quorum solemnitate gaudent angeli, et collaudant Filium Dei. Exultate, justi, in Domino:
rectos decet collaudatio. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

(Let us all rejoice in the Lord, celebrating the feast day in honour of all the saints: the angels
are glad at their festival and praise the Son of God. Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord: it
becometh well the just to be thankful. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Ghost: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.)

(Introit for the Feast of All Saints)

Gaudeamus omnes
This brightly-voiced motet, published in the 1605 'Gradualia', celebrates the Feast of All Saints with spirited merriment; the rejoicing of the angels is delightfully depicted in a passage calling for vocal and verbal agility.

Ave verum corpus - Motets and anthems of William Byrd
This recording presents a selection of 15 of the 150 or so Latin motets and three of the dozens of English anthems that, between them, form the larger part of the life’s work of William Byrd (1543–1623), the greatest English composer of his era. The chosen motets and anthems represent just some of the many facets of Byrd’s sacred music, now recognized after three centuries of neglect as among the most glorious ever written for choir.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1981) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
