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
Derrick Gerarde's motet In monte Oliveti sets a profoundly moving Latin text concerning Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. The words express Jesus' prayer to the Father, his human weakness, and his ultimate submission to divine will. The motet also includes the disciples' admonishment to watch and pray, lest they fall into temptation. Gerarde's setting for SSATTBB voices is a powerful exploration of this sacred drama, offering a rich harmonic language to convey the text's emotional weight and spiritual depth. This motet is suitable for services or concerts where a reflective and expressive sacred work is desired.
