The oratorio "Christ on the Mount of Olives" (Christus am Ölberge), Op. 85, premiered in 1803 and is Beethoven's only oratorio, depicting the night of Jesus's agony in the garden of Gethsemane. The concluding Hallelujah chorus is a triumphant choral climax scored for soloists, chorus, and orchestra.

This Air is drawn from Beethoven's collection of folk song arrangements, Op. 107, which features settings of Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and other folk melodies for voice with piano trio accompaniment. The 'Little Russia' subtitle refers to Ukraine, and Beethoven's sensitive harmonic treatment of these folk melodies showcased his deep respect for popular song traditions.
