URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

Misc. Notes scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning. I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.

Navigation etc.

  • Grove Music lists this as a "Humoreske, Zur Feier des hundertjährigen Jubiläums der Akademischen Konzerte zu Jena 1870", for "solo vv ad lib, male/mixed chorus, orch".
  • Kalmus, on the other hand says "optional mx choir" and doesn't mention solo voices.
  • According to Ben Arnold, in The Liszt Companion (p.397), Liszt composed the song for "either mixed chorus or men's chorus, soloists, and orchestra . . . Liszt composed the work to include cuts and an alternate ending so that, in the event a chorus is not present, the piece could be performed with orchestra alone. Indeed, Gaudeamus igitur is primarily an orchestral piece with a choral section, rather than a work that centers around a chorus."
