In Monte Oliveti by Jeffrey Quick — Lyrics
In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem:
Pater, si fieri potest, transeat a me calix iste:
Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma. Fiat voluntas tua.

About In Monte Oliveti
Jeffrey Quick sets a poignant Latin text from the Gospels in this motet for SATB choir. The words, drawn from the Agony in the Garden, speak of Christ's human struggle and ultimate submission to God's will: 'Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as you will.' The setting calls for singers to be watchful and pray, lest they enter into temptation, directly echoing the gospel narrative. The composer's setting captures the solemnity of the text, offering a reflective moment for the choir and listeners.
