Great site! When it opened and that German chant-song was playing I had a flashback to my 2cnd night in Konstanz. We (the group I was traveling with) had just finished a concert and went out with our host families to a place called the "Spanishe Bar". We sang a few German drinking songs, although I don't recall them now (it's been about 7 years).
I also need to brush up on my German  .

Thank you so much.
BTW that first song that you heard, "Gaudeamus igitur" (latin), is a very old student song, that we frequently sing. They just played it here at Cornell at the commencement ceremony when the president of the university walked in - I loved it!!
We have tons of old songs, some written by Goethe and Schiller, that we still sing.
Soon, more will be up on the site to listen to.
