Work introduction
Codex for bassoon and string orchestra is based on a fragment from Codex Calixtinus (XII century). It is a mainly contrapuntal work where the fragment, which is the only material used, is presented as a series with its inversion, retrogradation, augmentation, diminution, etc. The repetition, almost minimalist, is constant but always done in a different way.
