Programme note:

In this setting of William Blake's words (from the preface to his book 'Milton' ca. 1804-08) the composer imagines the performers in a time before Britain was an Empire - in a landscape which, although it may be green, is also mountainous, overcast and cold enough for the air to become visible when breathing out.

The poem is best known as the anthem 'Jerusalem', with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916.
