Sung in Latin, Gaudeamus has been the traditional college student song
for two hundred years. A Latin manuscript dated 1267 contains the
words to verses two and three of the modern song, and Johannes Brahms
incorporated the music into his Academic Festival Overture, Opus 80. It
remains popular in academic ceremonies to this day. |
