  • Thanks for putting this together....and to think they called Blake marginal in his day...more like a revolutionary of his day.

    Cheers

  • One of my great interests is William Blake, I have lectured on this man at College. Love him. Wonderful to see him on You Tube. Shame he does not get the hits that Chris Crocker gets...

  • This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for bringing his beautiful work here.

  • Grande Blake!

  • great music

  • Nice juxtaposition, but I don't think the wrath of Blake's writing and his utter Englishness go together with the very baroque nature of Vivaldi's music. Obviously since the two arts are so distinct you might feel differently than I do, but I've always felt the sonic equivalent of Blake's poetry would be something by Mahler. Only he had the strength of character, talent and inner rage to compose his apocalyptic visions without the kitsch, the severity or the asceticism of other composers.

  • "God as an architect" at 3:20 is amazing!!!!!!...

  • Do you know my poetry?

  • Thanks, and he was a Quaker

  • Beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
