Beethoven composed his oratorio, Christus am Ölberge (in English, Christ on the Mount of Olives), Op. 85, in the fall of 1802. It portrays the emotional turmoil of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane prior to his crucifixion. Choral score in German with piano accompaniment. Translation to English included in preface. Includes: Introduction * O Father, O my Father * All my soul within me shudders * Now tremble, nature * Praise the Redeemer's goodness * Oh, Triumph, all ye ransom'd * Canst though, O Seraph, now declare * On me, then, fall Thy heavy judgment * Then welcome, death * We surely here shall find him * Behold him * Not unchastised * Mine inmost heart is burning * Haste! And seize upon the traitor * All my pain will soon be over * Hallelujah.
