Impressions of a Pilgrimage - the official music of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela
By Dick Le Mair
The year 2004 was a Jubilee Year, and that meant that millions of people have made the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Composer/musician Dick Le Mair has written the experience of making his own personal journey to Compostela to music. The CD characterized as "light classical" is rare because it is the only work written with the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela as its theme.
In addition to the complete works on CD released in 2003, there is also a compilation version available. This special edition is included as bonus material with the purchase of a book about the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
This book is a re-release of the book "The Pilgrimage" written by world famous author Paulo Coelho. This author has been very successful in the literary world: more than 50 million of his books have sold worldwide. The combination of the book and the CD was released in 2004 by the Arbeiderspress.

"Wayfaring"
By One Left
One Left, a country and rock band, has released an album of songs inspired by the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Here are some of the thoughts behind it:
"These songs were born from thoughts along el Camino de Santiago. Thoughts of this mortal coil, the unified theory, the heavens above, love found and lost, the fountain of youth, a pirates treasure, a sinners remorse, gypsy girls, evil souls, dreams and hopes... there are many hours on this road and many ways to get to the end.
There's a bit of revival and pain and jubilee that is inescapable. It's a road to salvation grounded in today - a shower, a meal, a place to lay your head, aching muscles and the wondering wandering mind - where you've got to keep moving if you want to make it to the next albergue by nightfall."
