The Santiago Codex of Valladolid is one of the most significant manuscript sources of Renaissance Spanish music in the beginning of the 17th century. Preserved in the Parroquia de Santiago in Valladolid (Spain), it was copied by Diego Sánchez and other unknown copyists. It contains seventy-five works, including three Masses, one Requiem Mass and sixty-three motets: some of them are unique, as they are only found in this manuscript or have some important differences with the other known sources. The significance of the Santiago Codex also lies in its composers: we can find unique works by Cristóbal de Morales, Francisco Guerrero, Juan Navarro and Francisco Guerrero among others.
In passione positus is a five-voice motet by the Spanish composer Francisco Guerrero (1528-1599). It is completely different from the homonym work that Guerrero published in his first printed collection, the Sacrae cantiones (1555). Some small passages and notes have been reconstructed due to the damage in some parts of the folios.
