How to learn the alto part

  1. 01 · Your part

    Hear your part on its own until the tune of it is in your ear.

  2. 02 · With the others

    Hear it with the others, so you know where it sits in the chord.

  3. 03 · Sing it

    Sing it with the others under you and watch each note light up as you land it. The mic listens only while it plays, and nothing is recorded.

About Jerusalem

Words: William Blake (c. 1804), from the preface to Milton

Tune: Hubert Parry, "Jerusalem" (1916)

Jerusalem sets William Blake's "And did those feet in ancient time", from the preface to his Milton of about 1804, to music Hubert Parry wrote on 10 March 1916, at the request of the poet Robert Bridges for the Fight for Right movement in London. Campaigners for women's votes took it up in 1918, and Parry wrote to their leader, Millicent Fawcett, that he wished it might become the Women Voters' hymn. He wrote it as a unison song with accompaniment: here the tune is his, the bass follows his left hand, and the alto and tenor are ours on his harmony. This is the first verse, broad and steady, in D, for 2 to 4 singers.
