If Ye Love Me

果你们爱我 "创作于 2003 年，首次由韦尔斯大教堂合唱团演唱。托马斯-塔利斯（Thomas Tallis）的这首无与伦比的作品可能是人们最熟悉的作品。在戴维-贝德纳尔（David Bednall）的这一版本中，对位和虚实关系的运用无疑是在向过去致敬，但绝不是在模仿那部老作品。整首曲子的节奏应灵活而富有表现力"

原文简介:
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.
