Music notation developed in Spain as early as the eighth century (the so-called Visigothic neumes) to notate the chant and other sacred music of the Christian church, but this obscure notation has not yet been deciphered by scholars, and exists only in small fragments.
The music of the Christian church in Spain was known as the music of the Mozarabic Rite, and developed in isolation, not subject to the enforced codification of Gregorian chant under the guidance of Rome around the time of Charlemagne.
The style of Spanish popular songs of the time is presumed to be closely related to the style of Moorish music, but unfortunately this cannot be proven, since not a scrap of Moorish music remains from the entire period of their colonization of the Iberian peninsula.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock I
A well-constructed music with themes and sub-themes, which is based more on the mature interplay of the instruments, and of musical themes than on catchy tunes, though there are some nice Anatolion melodies interlocking the tracks.
The music is a Camel-style mixture of symphonic rock, light jazz and folk-style melodies based on the colourful and highly melodic interplay of flute, organ, string synthesizer and somewhat subdued electric guitar.
Yet the folk music reservoir tapped here is distinctly Basque (with some Iberian influence), as are the almost surrealistic lyrics full of religious and lofty natural imagery, melancholy and longing, all of which helps to distance them from the British mainstream.
