Hope everyone out there is having a Merry Christmas.
I had this song in mind for this pick for a bit now; it is actually one of Steeleye Span's bigger hits. This is a Sacred Christmas Carol originally written sometime in the 16th Century that they recorded for their 4th album. The entire piece is sung a cappella in Latin; the vocal harmonies are simply amazing.

Hear a vinyl recording of Gaudete on YouTube.
Watch a live performance circa '04 on YouTube.



My song pick a year ago today: Ian Anderson - A Birthday Card At Christmas

My song pick three years ago today: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)
