Шаблон:Lang (In this last of nights), WAB 17, is a motet composed by Anton Bruckner.
History
Bruckner composed the motet in Шаблон:Circa at St. Florian Monastery for the celebration of Maundy Thursday. However, it is not known whether it was performed at that time.[1] It was edited first by Anton Böhm & Sohn, Augsburg & Vienna, 1931.[1]
There are two settings: one for soloist and organ, and another for mixed choir a cappella. The manuscript of the setting for soloist and organ is stored in the archive of the city museum of Wels. A transcription of the other setting is found in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.
The two settings of the motet are put in Band XXI/15 of the Шаблон:Lang.[2]
Text
The text is the first strophe of a 13-strophe text coming from the devoutness book Die heilige Passion, gefeiert in Liedern, Betrachtungen und Gebeten.[3]
<poem>Шаблон:Lang</poem> <poem>In this last of nights When I prayed at the Mount of Olives, I was reddened from blood sweat, Poured it streaming for thee. Woe! And who knows if ever you even think of me!</poem>
In addition, a transcription using the Latin text In monte oliveti has been published by Theodor Bernhard Rehmann, Edition Peters, Leipzig, 1947.

Music
The motet, a 22-bar Passion chorale in F minor. There are two settings: one for soloist and organ, and another for [[SATB|Шаблон:Abbr]] choir a cappella.
As Crawford Howie writes "Both In jener letzten der Nächte WAB 17 (c. 1848) and Dir, Herr, dir will ich mich ergeben WAB 12 (c. 1845) for a cappella mixed-voice choir are chorale harmonizations, probably the result of [Bruckner's] studies with Zenetti."[5]
