Jerusalem
Grade 4
by Sir Hubert Parry, arranged with additional composition by Julie Giroux
Composed for the Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School Wind Ensemble,
Jarrett Lipman and Alan Sharps, conductors.
Premiered at The Midwest Clinic, December 19, 2019
2016 marked the centenary of the hymn Jerusalem, which marries the words of William Blake's poem 'And did those feet in ancient time' with music composed by Sir Hubert Parry. The hymn, with its rousing music and enduring popularity, has been debated in Parliament for adoption as a national anthem for England. Jerusalem was a favorite hymn of the former First Lady and serves as Johnson High School's school song/alma mater.
Julie Giroux arranged and composed this setting of Jerusalem for the Claudia Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson High School Wind Ensemble's 2019 performance at The Midwest Clinic. The words to the Johnson High School Alma Mater were composed in 2008 by choir director Christie Brown, and begin with a simple reflection on Lady Bird's enduring legacy found in the bluebonnets and wildflowers. Johnson is nestled high on top of one of the tallest hills in the city of San Antonio and each spring, the hills bloom with bluebonnets planted by the students over the years the school has been open. Near rolling hills, where wildflowers growWith fields of green and bonnets of blue
Stands a city on a hill, for which our hearts beat ever true. Notes by Jarrett Lipman
