Hubert Parry: Jerusalem (orch. Elgar) (Prom 75)

Blake's poem, so wonderfully set by Parry, evokes a universal heaven of love and peace – a song and an idea which few can resist. Performed by the BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Chorus and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari Oramo. Visit the BBC Proms website for more videos and photos http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms
