IMO, an excellent rendition of Gaudete . Accurate pronunciation and timing. Sung in choral as it should .

2. In the UK, this song was popularized in 1972 by folk rock group Steeleye Span, lead vocal by the amazing Maddie Prior

British folk rock group Steeleye Span had a hit in 1973 (No. 14, UK singles chart) with an a cappella recording of the song. Guitarist Bob Johnson had heard the song when he attended a folk-carol service with his father-in-law in Cambridge, and brought it to the attention of the rest of the band. (Unlike the album version which fades up slowly and fades down slowly, the single was at the same volume for the entire length of the song.) This single is one of only two top 20 British hits to be sung fully in Latin (the other was a recording of "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem performed by Sarah Brightman and Paul Miles-Kingston in 1986).[1] "Gaudete" is also one of only a handful of a cappella performances to become hit singles. When "Gaudete" was performed on Top of the Pops, the resident dance troupe walked onto the set in medieval-style robes, holding candles, followed by the members of Steeleye Span.

4. Yes, I've heard their rendition ...

And , never liked it. I didn’t like their somewhat contemporary interpretation.
I’m happy that you and others enjoy it.

Music is good for humanity and there’s a lot to explore.
