Dr Meghan P. Quinlan (voice) and Jacob Mariani (gittern) perform Pour mon chief reconforter, a song composed by the thirteenth-century cleric and poet-composer, Gautier de Coinci. The song addresses the Virgin Mary with colourful imagery and language. The audience was invited to join in the refrain of the song. The song has two contrafacts: the anonymous conductus Sol sub nube latuit and the chanson Chanter et renvoisier sueil (RS 1001) by Thibaut de Blaison.
