According to Grove Music, "Six of the seven songs attributed to [Codax] survive with music in the Vindel Manuscript . . . The songs belong to the poetic genre cantiga de amigo. This kind of cantiga was composed and possibly sung by a man but was supposed to convey the feelings and thoughts of a young woman longing for her absent lover."
