On 12 August 2018, we performed at the unveiling of a new tombstone for the poet, artist and mystic William Blake. Performing from amidst the assembled crowd of Blake enthusiasts, we sang a setting by Chris Williams of the opening text from Plate 77 of Blake’s monumental poem Jerusalem.

Here is a demo of how you can combine the videos together to explore the music for yourself:
