Gaudium Mundo: Latin Christmas Carols. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of Aleksandra Klęczar at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, I've been able to add 24 more Latin Christmas carols to the Gaudium Mundo site! The carol tradition is very strong in Poland, and I was able to find YouTube videos and online MIDI files for almost all of these songs, so even if you do not know Polish you can sing along to the melodies using the Latin words!
