So far we have two ex-seminarians who knew it, and one ex-seminarian (myself) highly into Chant, highly into music, who was in the Schola at the seminary, who just discovered it a couple years ago.
I am familiar with it, but I didn't hear it in seminary, at least not that I can remember. I became family with it during my former employment for an FSSP church with a polyphonic choir. One of my favorites.

Off direct topic, but more Christmas carols/hymns from about the same general time period as Gaudete, arranged for voice and/or historically accurate instruments. Album "Nowells Delight", by early music group Piffaro. Not sure how to share whole playlist, but here is first track and a few others:

To be sung when you bring the roasted pigs head to the table for the feast

I was trying to think of a good clickbait title. I'm sure a few of us know this one. But before 2020, I had never heard it before. That is "in all my travels", and I'm very well-traveled when it comes to music.

So yeah -- even among those who think they know most Christmas songs, they very well might not know this one.
You won the bet with me, I never heard of it.

It became popular, and much better known, here in the UK when the folk band 'Steeleye Span' released a 45 rpm single of it in 1972.

A later recording .
