MUSIC: Medieval chant (prayer) of the Gradual of Eleanor of Brittany (13th - 14th century AD): Orbis Factor (means "Creator of the World" in Latin) - Kyrie / Christe eleison (means "Lord / Christ have mercy" in Greek).
PERFORMED BY: Ensemble Organum (France).
Fourteen Holy Helpers - a group of Christian saints who enjoyed a collective cult in the Rhineland from the 14th century. From Ratisbon and Bamberg this devotion spread to the rest of Germany, Hungary, and Sweden, but it had little following in France and Italy. Its apogee was reached in the 15th century. In the 16th it was attacked by reformers and discouraged by the Council of Trent. It enjoyed, nevertheless, a certain revival in the baroque abbeys of Bavaria and Svabia.
