"Jerusalem" performed by the Cadet Glee Club of West Point

Музыка

I included this song in the repertoire of "Stand Ye Steady" to honor our steadfast friends and allies from the UK. If ever a song embodied a call to action, this is it! Accompanying the Cadets is the world's largest church organ exquisitely played by Craig Williams. The ending chords resonate with devine majesty as Craig "pulls out all the stops".
The performance of "Jerusalem" can be seen and heard on the DVD and CD "Stand Ye Steady - Songs of Courage and Inspiration" available at www.standyesteady.com (in 5.1 Dolby Digital) and honoring all US Armed Forces past and present. Directing and video editing by Doug Coppi of Curtain Call Productions, www.curtaincallproductions.com... .

    Friends, brothers, sisters of the US armed forces. Greetings. I served 25 years in the Royal Navy as a rating and as an officer. While an officer, I was privileged to work alongside magnificent men and women of the US armed forces. My respect grew long. My respect grew true. We are, surely, brothers and sisters in arms. It is my honour to refer to you as such. No foe shall prevail.

    I served seven years in the British Army, and, after a while, sixteen years in the Royal Navy. Jerusalem makes me think of my time in the services, of my mates that I served with, and most of all, the green and beautiful land that I joined up to protect. I have visited the United States many times and have met very many lovely people there, indeed, made very many good friends there. We and the Americans all share the same values. To hear Jerusalem sung by the future Officers and Commanders of the United States forces, enforces, in my view, the notion that we will never, ever, be apart. No one will separate us. Ever.

    Jerusalem Hymn And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountain green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

    I am an American who served with British troops in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan and was proud to call them "brother," "comrade in arms" and more importantly, "FRIEND!" I was very moved the first time I heard this hymn in the movie Chariots of Fire in 1982. I am an Episcopalian (member of the Anglican Communion) and in '82 did not know this was really a hymn about England, but now know better. That doesn't change the fact that this a beautiful hymn, one filled with emotion and one that also reminds the English people just how special they are and how important their place in the world and its history is. I know there are many Brits who hate us, along with the French, Germans, Aussies (including the one who posted vulgar comments here about both our countries) and others. That doesn't change the facts that there is a truly "special relationship" between the British people, their nation and the USA. I do dislike when Brits post hateful commentaries here and have said so, but that also will NEVER change the fact that I was proud to serve alongside them men and women of the British forces and if ever I have to go to war again, and cannot do so with my fellow Americans, would NEVER hesitate to serve alongside my British comrades in arms. I wish the men and women of Her Majesty's Forces all the best in 2014 and the best for the people of the United Kingdom.

Sadly, because of something called "gerrymandering" (don't ask), some Supreme Court decisions allowing effectively unlimited campaign spending by the wealthy few, massive voter suppression, and a blatantly propagandistic corporate "news" media, this "very small minority" can win enough elections to effectively control our federal government. We call these people "Republicans." Cheers!
