Adolf Schlieben received a composition prize with this song in 1885.The song is written down in the Lahrer Kommersbuch.
I have set it in polyphony. German listeners may know the melody of the chorus from advertising television - there was once an alcoholic drink based on apples ....
Joking aside - the melody of the chorus "Gaudeamus igitur" can also be heard in the Akademische Festouverture by Johannes Brahms (Finale Maestoso) - with which we have once again drawn a bow to seriousness :-)
