Blake and Music, 2022

Camila Oliveira (camila.querino@edu.ulisboa.pt) is assistant research fellow at the University of Lisbon. She holds a PhD in English literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and King’s College London on the translation of Blake’s Jerusalem into Portuguese and biblical intertextuality. She is currently working on Romanticism and music reception and writing a monograph on William Blake and contemporary music.

Jason Whittaker (jwhittaker@lincoln.ac.uk) works in the College of Arts at the University of Lincoln. He is the author and editor of several works on Blake, including William Blake and the Myths of Britain (Palgrave, 1999), Radical Blake: Influence and Afterlife from 1827 (with Shirley Dent, Palgrave, 2002), Divine Images: The Life and Work of William Blake (Reaktion Books, 2021), and Jerusalem: Blake, Parry, and the Fight for Englishness (Oxford University Press, 2022). His main research interests deal with the reception of Blake, and he is the editor of the site Zoamorphosis and one of the editors for Global Blake.

If 2021 saw a considerable addition to the corpus of Blake settings and tracks inspired by his poetry, 2022 witnessed something of an explosion, with almost a hundred releases recorded from this year alone. As has been evident for some time, this rapid acceleration is due to the growth of streaming services, with almost every track in the listings below being offered by Amazon, Apple, Spotify or—​increasingly popular with artists—​Bandcamp. As the barriers to entry decline, more and more independent artists are making their music available. This, of course, is true of all music, but it is significant that Blake’s hold on the musical imagination is growing (and not just in terms of new versions of old favorites, such as “Jerusalem” or “The Tyger”).

One notable effect of this flourishing of Blakean music is that nearly every example listed here is some form of pop or alternative music. While classical music has abundant outlets for streaming (not least Apple’s new classical music app), as CD sales have declined and concerts become more expensive to perform, far fewer settings of Blake’s poems have been issued. Those few included this year, such as Brian DeMaris or Carl Vollrath, also tend to be simpler arrangements for piano or a small group of performers. The majority of items listed below are, unsurprisingly, single tracks, but 2022 did see some complete albums dedicated mostly or completely to Blake’s work. As well as Vollrath’s Old & New Poetry, which combines Blake’s poetry with that of Sara Teasdale, Byron Bartlett and Benjamin Blower released longer recordings based on Songs of Innocence and of Experience, while Mukenai created an ambient work that draws heavily on Blake’s mythology for its inspiration. In addition, it’s worth noting that in 2022 Marianne Faithfull released a compilation of songs recorded between 1965 and 1995 that she fittingly named Songs of Innocence and Experience.

As in previous versions, this list omits tracks that are based on a single quotation from or allusion to Blake’s work. Wherever possible, the country of the artist is given, as well as the work’s instrumentation, duration, publisher, copyright date, genre, and format. Most entries include at least one link to a recording.
