Описание к видео ITV hymn “Jerusalem the golden”: Ely Cathedral 1989 (Arthur Wills)

From an edition of the ITV programme "Highway", with Harry Secombe, recorded on 4 April 1989 in St Martin's Church, Witcham. The choir of Ely Cathedral, directed by Arthur Wills, sings the hymn “Jerusalem the golden”.

The words of the hymn (original Latin title: "Urbs Si­on aur­ea") are by the 12th-century French monk Bernard de Cluny as part of a long satiric poem called "De Contemptu Mundi" ("the contemptable world"). The translation by John M Neale dates from 1848 and the hymn is sung in an idiosyncratic arrangement of a tune by Alexander Ewing.
