About I give you a new commandment
Robert Johnson's setting of 'I give you a new commandment' is a sacred anthem that draws on the words of Jesus. The text, 'that ye love one another e'en as I have loved you. By this all men shall know that ye are my disciples,' speaks of Christian fellowship and mutual love as the defining characteristic of discipleship. This work is scored for TTBB, TTBarB, and AATB, offering flexibility in performance for male and mixed-voice choirs. Johnson's treatment of this profound biblical passage provides a moving and reflective musical setting for the choir and congregation.
