The ensemble Peregrina, based in Basel, is dedicated to music of the Middle Ages from Tyrol, whereby songs from the Codex 457 of the UB Innsbruck are the focus. This 14th century source contains experimental polyphonic pieces; The codex originally came from the South Tyrolean monastery Neustift and reached the Karthause Schnals, from there to the UB Innsbruck. The CD offers chorale and early polyphony from this and other Tyrolean manuscripts, sonically fascinating music in the interpretation of an internationally renowned special ensemble.

Leonhard Lechner (ca 1553-1606) was a Catholic South Tyrolean who converted to Protestantism at the age of 18 and is described as an erudite theologian. He is considered the most important mediator of Orlando di Lasso's musical style for Protestant church music. It is not only in his motet passion of 1593 that he shows a special talent for combining the contrapuntal movement of the German tradition with the explicit interpretation of words in the Italian style. Henning Wiegrabe and the Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart underline this impressively in their colorful performance.
