set variable to a command?

I am stuck on something simple, and I don't know why I can't get my head
around what is wrong.

I want to set a variable to a command name in a script for itunes, and I
can't seem to get the command to execute.

This works:

tell application "iTunes"
play
end tell

This does not:

set command to "play"
tell application "iTunes"
command
end tell

I have fiddled around with different syntax ways of saying the same thing,
but I seem to fail each time. I am using the latest OS and iTunes. I am
sure I am just missing something super basic, but I can't seem to see
it....
