about

a choral coda to the oratorio Jerusalem-Yerushalayim

The choral coda to a new oratorio-cantata telling the biblical story of Jerusalem–Yerushalayim from earliest intimations of its significance in the Torah to future visions of the city’s history and its transcendent symbolism. Jerusalem – placed at the centre of the world on mediaeval maps, a crossroads between Asia, Europe and Africa; Jerusalem – occupied by Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans, British etc.; Jerusalem – the scene of central events in Jewish history, in the Christian gospel, and now home to Islamic holy sites; more than any other city, Jerusalem has captured hearts and imaginations around the world and continues to reflect the turbulent emotions of our troubled times. Just as the Old City of Jerusalem is now divided into four quarters, so the oratorio is divided into four sections of three movements each: (I) the city in patriarchal times; (II) the city as the capital of Israel up to its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar in 586BC/BCE; (III) the city rebuilt under occupation until its destruction by the Romans in 70AD/CE; (IV) the city as prefigured by prophets and unfolded in history ever since.

The Peace of Jerusalem was premièred in Israel in April 2007 by the Choir of London under Jeremy Summerly. The text is based on a patchwork of many Biblical fragments – mostly from Isaiah.

lyrics

Though the mountains be removed...
Yet My covenant of peace shall not leave you...
Sing, O barren... great shall be your children’s peace. (Isaiah 54:1,10-11,13)
Jerusalem, the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, the voice of crying no more. (Isaiah 65:19)
Comfort, comfort... Jerusalem, proclaim to her that her warfare is over... (Isaiah 40:1-2)

The LORD upon this mountain will make a feast for all [peoples]...
ADONAI- Tzva’ot [the LORD of hosts] (Isaiah 25:6)
I will lay foundations and your walls with precious stones... (Isaiah 54:11-12)

The shroud upon all nations here will the LORD destroy... (Isaiah 25:7)
ADONAI ELOHIM [the Lord GOD]
I will walk among you, and My people you shall be. (Leviticus 26:12)

He, swallowing death in victory, will wipe away all tears [from all faces]... (Isaiah 25:8)
‘immanu-El (Isaiah 8:8)
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw...
They shall not hurt nor destroy on all My holy mountain... (Isaiah 65:20)

Be glad in His salvation, our God, we will rejoice!
See, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us...
we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
ADONAI (Isaiah 25:9)
I create new heavens, and a new earth... (Isaiah 65:17)
And in Jerusalem I will rejoice! Yerushalayim! (Isaiah 65:19)
[based on KJV/AV, CJB translations; some sentences paraphrased for hymn metre]
