ANÚNA : 'Gaudete' arr. Michael McGlynn

solo Aengus Ó Maoláin

[tabletalk]

Latin is eternally beautiful. In a chorus, it is indescribable.

[kruzrken]

What an awesome vocal group. The performance is flawless.

[kevinspencer]

Beautiful celebrations of the birth of our lord Jesus Christ.

I've listened so often to 'Gaudete' sung by Anùna . It‘s brilliant. I'm going to listen to it again - right now

[douglasangus]

Thank You again for this Magnificent hymn, A Great Carol at this Christmas.

[richardt]

I love this version. Thank you so much for bringing this rendition to us on YouTube!

[johndoe-tsuv]

nice version God bless - Christ is Risen

[markaustin]

addendum - if you listen the the soloist, his Latin is virtually perfect - no diphthongs, precise open vowels, and nice dry dental consonants.

[Coemgenus]

I for one, loved it. I feel that you all did a terrific job. I attend a Traditional Latin Mass and our choir sang it at the end of Mass last Sunday.
Merry Oops, Happy Christmas

Dominus Vobiscum

[kevinconnelly]

This one is one the hit list for top songs in the past one thousand years.

[joeygermick]

I honestly am 100% in love with this song. Flawless in my opinion. I can not get enough of this and your other songs. They have become a blessing in my life

[Katullus]

I listen to this performance every year, even though I'm not a Christian - this music is so joyful that I can't simply resist. And the pronunciation is lovely. I admire it even more as a Latinist. :) My teacher showed our class this song a few years ago, and we all appreciated it for its uniqueness and charm. There's nothing odd in it. Some people are just so used to their beliefs on the correct way of speaking that they don't understand it varied and still varies in every time our country, and there's beauty in this.

Wishing Everyone around the World & All Freinds & Followers of Annuna a Very “Happy Christmas” & a “Peacefull, Heathly & Prosperous” 2024.

All Our Love from Scotland !!

[draisens]

Coming back to this marvelous piece.
Wonderful arrangement.

[browncatt]

Gosh, why not just enjoy the fabulous chorale work. Great unisons within voice parts, strong and full tone through all parts, 'fun' solo voice, well balanced voice parts, warm voices. The only thing I would have liked to make this an outstanding rendition would be a little more contrast in their dynamic plan, it was all pretty much the same volume. Great work. Thank you

[jeannieminnis]

'Gaudete' is a beautiful carol and brings back fond memories of the Advent Carol Service at Christ Church St Laurence.

[BlacknPinkGloves]

I get why people normally don't like diphthongs, but just listen. They are all in time! It is obviously a style choice. They sounds VERY together. As a Latin student, also, I can say the pronunciation of some words are a little spine tingling. But again, they are doing it together and sound great. I love this group and enjoy listening to their pieces and watching them have some fun with the general masses' opinions on something as minuscule as diphthongs.

[skembow]

I'm watching it over and over again and I'm being amazed every time a bit more, it's wonderful!

[ingiburgerjohnsons]

Wow. This is such a great version of a great song! It's really fresh and compelling. And I love how the singers have these subtle smiles on their faces. Really, this is an amazing performance. 

[Gilfanon-]

A gorgeous arrangement and beautiful execution. Impressive on so many levels. Every word jumps from the arrangement with crystalline clarity!
