All the way from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Fisterra.
"I'm thankfull this road for every metre that I went through, for every stone I needed to climb over, for every person that I met, for the views and memories which I will remember all my entire life. This experience I got will share with everyone who would love to try it."
A selection of pilgrimage music of the camino... Well, what is pilgrimage music.
Is it related to themes of religion, is it related to medieval times, to the instruments of Galicia or northern Spain or to representative moods you encounter while doing the camino?
Just make up your mind and enjoy.

Full Text Stella Splendens
"Sequitur alia cantilena ad trepudium rotundum:
Stella splendens in monte ut solis radium miraculis serrato exaudi populum.
Concurrunt universi gaudentes populi
divites et egeni grandes et parvuli
Principes et magnates extirpe regia
ipsum ingrediuntur ut cernunt oculi
et inde revertuntur gracijis repleti.
saeculi potestates obtenta venia
Prelati et barones comites incliti
peccaminum proclamant tundentes pectora
poplite flexo clamant hic: Ave Maria.
religiosi omnes atque presbyteri
milites mercatores cives marinari
artifices et omnes gratulantur ibi.
burgenses piscatores praemiantur ibi.
Rustici aratores nec non notarii
advocati scultores cuncti ligni
fabri sartores et sutores nec non lanifici
Coetus hic aggregantur hic ut exhibeant
Reginae comitissae illustres dominae
potentes et ancillae juvenes parvulae
virgines et antiquae pariter viduae
conscendunt et hunc montem et religiosae.
mentes nostras mundantes oremus devote
vota regratiantur ut ipsa et reddant
aulam istam ditantes hoc cuncti videant
jocalibus ornantes soluti redeant.
Cuncti ergo precantes sexus utriusque
virginem gloriosam matrem clementiae
