In monte Oliveti by Giovanni Battista Martini — 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
Giovanni Battista Martini's In monte Oliveti opens with a delicate interplay of voices, creating an atmosphere of prayer and introspection. This sacred motet in Latin sets the text from the Gospel of Matthew, depicting Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. The music captures the plea 'Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me,' followed by the resigned 'Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.' The composer also includes Christ's admonition to his disciples, 'Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.' Available for TTB and SSA choirs, Martini's setting offers a profound musical meditation on themes of obedience and divine will, suitable for services or concerts seeking expressive sacred repertoire.
