Commercium song

Allgemeines Deutsches Kommersbuch ("General German Commercium Songbook"), cover sheet of 1858

Commercium songs are traditional academic songs that are sung during academic feasts: commerciums and tablerounds.

Some very old commercium songs are in Latin, like Meum est propositum or Gaudeamus igitur.

In some countries, hundreds of commercium songs are compiled in commercium books.
