Gaudete by Tom Swafford
Gaudete is a Finnish/Swedish Christmas Carol from the 1500s. British group Steeleye Span popularized it in the 1970s. It was one of few hit singles sung in Latin! I found out about it on the YouTube channel Early Music Sources. I used Steeleye Span's version, a transcription from Early Music Sources, and a video by the group Enchiriadis as inspiration.
