About this track
License Jerusalem (instrumental) for your next creative project through Artyfile. This monumental orchestral anthem, composed by Hubert Parry and based on William Blake's iconic poem, is one of England's most celebrated and emotionally stirring compositions. Performed by a professional orchestra, this 4:19 recording captures the full grandeur — soaring strings, triumphant brass and sweeping dynamics that have made Jerusalem a fixture of national ceremonies, the BBC Proms and cinematic storytelling. Available as a lossless WAV download from EUR 29.90, with full worldwide sync rights included.
About This Recording
Jerusalem (1916) was composed by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, setting William Blake's preface to "Milton" to music. Originally written as a morale-boosting anthem during World War I, the piece has since become an unofficial English national anthem, performed at events ranging from the Last Night of the Proms to the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. This instrumental arrangement preserves the composition's signature arc — the contemplative opening verses building through layered orchestration to the triumphant climax of "I will not cease from mental fight." The recording is produced to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, ready for professional film, television and digital media production.
