The World Renewed: The Mediaeval Baebes and "Gaudete"

Today's random tune is called Gaudete and is performed by The Mediaeval Baebes. Technically a Christmas carol as the song praises the birth of Jesus Christ, it is still beautiful to listen to the song and the lyrics in Latin. Just save it on your playlist for the holidays! The Mediaeval Baebes began in 1996 when a group of friends led by Katherine Blake of Miranda Sex Garden broke into a North London cemetery and sang a capella in flowing white robes and leaf garlands. They soon became an ensemble, and their first album, Salva Nos, shot to number two on the classical charts. The group has since had many incarnations. They sing in an array of obscure and ancient languages, and have placed three albums in the top ten of the classical charts and participated in the BBC's television series The Virgin Queen. Gaudete is from their 2003 CD Mistletoe & Wine, and is also on their 2014 album Of Kings and Angels.
