At the 2026 Book of Mormon Culture Conference on November 7, 2026, I shared five musical settings of the Savior’s words after He descended from heaven at the temple in Bountiful:
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
And behold, I am the light and the life of the world …
3 Nephi 11:10-11
All five of these settings are part of large-scale oratorios for orchestra, choir, and soloists. Here are links to recordings of the five pieces:
1. Leroy Robertson, Oratorio from the Book of Mormon (1953)
The setting of the Savior’s announcement appears at 39:35.
2. Robert Cundick, The Redeemer (1978)
The 3 Nephi scripture begins at 53:05.
3. CJ Madsen, One Fold, One Shepherd (2016)
The relevant track is #6: Behold, I Am Jesus Christ.
4. Hannah Evans, One by One (2026)
The track I featured is 9: Behold My Beloved Son.
5. Brett Stewart, Messiah in America (2010)
The relevant movement is 20: And He Stretched Forth His Hand.
