The Codex Calixtinus is from the shrine of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Northwest Spain), and deals primarily with the subject of St. James. The manuscript is originally from Central or Northern France, apparently carried to the site by pilgrims. Stylistically, the music is typical of French conducti of the 11th & 12th century.
The performance is by an all-male choir (with organistrum on one track), some parts are doubled, while others are sung by one voice. There is a variety of texture employed, although the music is exclusively for one or two parts.
