If Ye Love Me

This scripture is the 2019 theme for the youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I had a request from a youth leader to create a piece using this short but powerful verse. Design challenges inherent in these words are the fact that there are few of them and that “commandments” is very long and “if” and “ye” are very short. I decided that I needed more text to work with and asked myself what commandments Jesus was talking about and included those. Two of my sons sang in a community choir that performed a piece with this text, a setting by Thomas Tallis that I have loved for years.
