- Brahms's purely orchestral "Academic Festival Overture" was provided with a rousing choral finale by Sir Malcolm Sargent in which the choir sings the student song 'Gaudeamus Igitur, Juvenes dum sumus' ('Let us rejoice, therefore, while we are young'). It is played here under Andrew Davis at the Last Night of the Proms in 1992.

First heard the Academic Festival Overture when I was a mere 15 year old. Loved it. We didn't have any Internet back then so it wasn't until a number of years ago I learned the music is actually based on "bawdy" tavern songs sung by young college students back in Brahms's days that's why it changes so much in pitch and tempo. Naughty Brahms!
You think that is bad, check out the original song of the American National Anthem ;) Peace and Love from Canada th-cam.com/video/ydAIdVKv84g/w-d-xo.html
I FIRST HEARD THIS AT A TUNBRIDGE WELLS CONCERT BACK IN THE 60'S AND THAT TUNE CAME AS A SHOCK .THE RED FLAG AT TUNBRIDGE WELLS .................WOW1
I love it when the audience bobs at the beginning
Cool ! A new expansion on the Academic festival Overture
the Proms should be appointed world Heritage.
Coo ta :-) I wasn't there that year though...
It's like Brahms ninth symphony!
I'd say this is Brahms' 1812 Overture (well... except without cannons, of course).

A fine performance but Oh I wish the modern day audience would let the last bars fade away before they start applauding. This seems to be the norm in this day and age.
Totally agree--the only thing worse being audiences that applaud at the BEGINNING of a piece,presumably to congratulate themselves on recognizing the music!😊
At such an occurrence I find it difficult to refrain from bad language...😕😕
@@andrewkennaugh1065 LMAO better than no applause or recognition at all. Be thankful for what you can get most times
I mean thi is genius:-):+)))
And why not sing the Gaudeamus, Neil? Nihil obstat. And Brahms isn't complaining. Still...it is kinda superfluous, nicht wahr? Oh, well, it was nice to hear it--once. :
I suspect Brahms - who was a formidable choral composer, and I'm not just talking Ein deutsches Requiem (his unjustly neglected a cappella choral music is among his finest) - would have gotten a real kick out of Sargent's edition.
Yeah who made that rule?

Hold it, Malcolm... de Brevitate Vitae (Gaudeamus igitur) comes from a centuries old tradition of the academic commercium -- and should only be sung by men (preferably male university students) and never as part of the Academic Festival Overture. Brahms riffed on several drinking songs in AFO and there is no reason to invoke a chorus on de Brevitate Vitae and not the others... Just saying...
Malcom Sargent's version is fit to Brahms, not the monotone chant. If Brahms wanted it to be a masculine finale, he would've putvthe melody in the base or alto cleff instruments...he put it in the upper register. Who are you to nitpick one of the pickiest composers ever?
