- for SATB choir, a cappella (with rehearsal keyboard reduction)
- duration: ca. 2 minutes
This modern but approachable motet is inspired by the classic setting of the same text by Thomas Tallis. My version, marked by diatonic tone clusters and canonic treatment, offers a refreshing alternative to the Tallis.
Text: John 14:15–17
If ye love me, keep my commandments,
and I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may bide with you forever,
e’en the Spirit of Truth
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him.
But he know him.
For he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
