Gaudeamus (polyphonic or homophonic settings?)
-
Dear fellow musicians, choristers and Christians,
I wish to know if anyone of you has heard before of any particular musical setting for 2 to 4 voices of the famous introit "Gaudeamus" which is used on a number of important solemn feasts of Holy Mother Church. At the moment the only one I have found is this one:Though I find it to be adequate for use, I also suspect that there is an even more beautiful composition in existence. What think ye?

You could start at the CPDL page, and then check UF's Motet database to see what you may have missed.
