If Ye Love Me

果你們愛我 "創作於 2003 年，首次由威爾斯大教堂合唱團演唱。湯瑪斯-塔利斯（Thomas Tallis）的這首無與倫比的作品可能是人們最熟悉的作品。在大衛-貝德納爾（David Bednall）的這一版本中，對位和虛實關係的運用無疑是在向過去致敬，但絕不是在模仿那部老作品。整首曲子的節奏應靈活而富有表現力"

原文簡介:
If Ye Love Me was written in 2003 and was first performed by Wells Cathedral Choir. The well known text is perhaps most familiar from Thomas Tallis’s peerless setting. In this version by David Bednall there are definite nods to the past, in the use of counterpoint and false relations, whilst in no way being an attempt to imitate that older work. The tempo should be flexible and expressive throughout. This piece is from the Choral Signature Series which introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and more challenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
