Ecce novum gaudium from Piae Cantiones mj337 (1582/2013)
The Piae Cantiones was a large collection of late medieval songs in Latin which was compiled by Jaakko Suomalainen, the headmaster of Turku’s cathedral school (published 1582). The book gives the text of each song, along with the melody line. It contains many simple carols for Easter and Christmas (including Good King Wenseslas and In dulci jubilo). In 2013, Malcolm Hill set one of the less-familiar carols: Ecce novum gaudium.
