The paths of Saint James are as numerous as the pilgrims who walk them. One of them comes from across the sea and dives beneath the waters to reach the port. From Canet, he continues his journey to Compostela, crossing the Pyrenees, plains, and rivers, encountering knights, castles, churches, and monasteries. A true musical journey inspired by the tales and legends of the Middle Ages, between pilgrimage songs and Catalan heritage.
On the program: vocal works from the medieval repertoire related to pilgrimages, notably from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, the Cantigas de Santa Maria, the Codex Calixtinus, Gregorian liturgy, as well as musical traditions from the scriptorium of Ripoll and Catalan monasteries.
