Jerusalem by Hubert Parry
Now available as a royalty free proruction music track – Hubert Parry’s stirring English anthem “Jerusalem”.
Orchestra version of Hubert Parry’s glorious nostalgic and rousing hymn “Jerusalem”.
The words were written by William Blake, and the hymn has become popular as an English patriotic anthem.

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these 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 Englands green & pleasant Land.

Watermarking your audio files
If you have audio files that you would like to protect, then one way to do this is audio watermark them. In other words, add an extra piece of audio, like a voiceover or sound effect, to the audio file that repeats perhaps every ten seconds or so. If you have a lot of files, then to do this manually would take a lot of time.
