| Ajoutée par FS, 06 Avr 2016 The original author is of "Gaudete" is unknown, although it is sometimes mistakenly attributed to a composer by the name of "Piae Cantiones". Piae Cantiones was in fact a songbook published in Finland in 1582, which contained the first published edition of Gaudete. The songbook had the full title of "Piae Cantiones Ecclesiasticae et Scholasticae Veterum Episcoporum" (Devout ecclesiastical and scholastic songs of the old bishops), and contained a collection of Latin songs, intended for the pupils of church and cathederal schools. Piae Cantiones did not include music for the verses; these were to be sung to a well-known colloquial tune. Gaudete was made (relatively) famous in the 1970s when it was performed and recorded by the folk rock group "Steeleye Span", and ever since it has been included in a large number of Christmas collections (it is, after all, a Christmas song, although many AICSAns may not realise this).
