The pathos of the moment and the artistry of the poet are combined in this deeply moving vignette of Christ praying in agony at Gethsemane. As the choir retells the story of Christ's prayer using the Lenten hymn Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow, a solo soprano reminds the listener of Jesus' passion using the hymn WONDROUS LOVE. And, at a point of deepest expression, the choir assumes the role of humanity, offering their own prayer for mercy: "Kyrie eleison." A dramatic and penetrating work for Holy Week services.
