[Gocamino] New Recording of music from the Codex Calixtinus

[Eldor Pederson]

I just acquired a new CD of music from the Codex Calixtinus and recommend it to anyone fond of music of the high Middle Ages, music with the strongest possible connections to the pilgrimage:


Ensemble Organum - Marcel Pérès. 2004. Compostela ad Vesperas Sancti Iacobi: Codex Calixtinus XIIe siècle. Paris:
Ambroisie AMB 9966 

It is one of the more complete recordings of the music from the Codex in the cathedral archives at Santiago de Compostela, and it is sung by a male group, a bit more authentic than the all female Anonymous4 Recording Sant'.ago though the Anonymous 4 recording is also superb.

Ensemble Organum is a French group and has recorded a number of CDs of medieval music.
