WE ARE SORRY BUT HIS OFFER HAS ALREADY EXPIRED
In our Magazine number 30 Juan Carlos Asensio writes a very complete essay entitled 'Codex Calixtinus, The music on the pilgrim's road to Santiago' that explores the obscures origins of the cult of St James in Hispania, explains why the Codex Calixtinus enjoyed uncontested pre-eminence amongst the music associated with the pilgrims’ road to Santiago de Compostela and analyses in detail the musical content of the Codex Calixtinus, which constitutes a compendium of the liturgical music and composition procedures of its period.
The recording entitled 'Codex Calistinus', by Fernando Olbas and the Coro Ultreia and compiled for the shrine at Compostela, consists of a set of 4 CDs which contains the virtually complete music found in this manuscript, considered to be the principal body of 12th-century polyphony in the period. The recording follows the structure of the manuscript, so all the pieces are sung in the order that they occur. Hence the first three discs offer the vigil Mass, the antiphons and responsories of Matins and the other hours, and parts of the two Masses of the day; while the fourth disc offers all of the polyphony, concluding with Dum pater familias the most popular of the chants.
This excellent recording, that was given 5 Stars in our magazine , is complemented by an elegant packaging and each disc comes with its texts and translations. The case includes a 96-page booklet of notes where many colour reproductions of the codex are also printed.
