90 Jerusalem

The words were set to music much later, in 1916, by the English composer Hubert
Parry, and later orchestrated by Sir Edward Elgar in 1922. “Jerusalem” was first performed at
a Votes for Women concert in 1916. A short snippet of the melody of “Jerusalem” may also
be heard at the very end of “A Town Called Paradise” on No Guru No Method No Teacher.

The following extract is taken from the William Blake home page:

William Blake (b. Nov. 28, 1757, London -- d. Aug. 12, 1827, London) was the first
of the great English Romantic poets, as well as a painter, engraver and printer. Blake is fre-
quently referred to as a mystic, but this is not really accurate. He deliberately wrote in the
style of the Hebrew prophets and envisioned his works as expressions of prophecy, following
in the footsteps (or, more precisely strapping on the sandals) of Elijah and Milton.
