Blake and Music, 2023 Detail of Conquering a Chromatic Passage, attributed to Nathaniel Dance (n.d.). Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection. B1977.14.4997. Blake and Music, 2023 By Camila Oliveira and Jason WhittakerFor the funding for Camila Oliveira’s research, see <https://​doi.​org/​10.​54499/​2022.​00978.​CEECIND/​CP1762/​CT0006>. Camila Oliveira (camila.querino@edu.ulisboa.pt) is a 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 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. As has been evident since the pandemic, settings of Blake’s poetry to music and songs inspired by his art more generally have been enjoying something of a golden age, with the number of individual tracks and albums increasing steadily each year. Following trends set during the pandemic, streaming services—​whether large companies such as Apple and Spotify, or smaller ones such as Bandcamp—​have lowered the barriers to entry for many composers and musicians. More than fifty percent of the works that we list for 2023 were self-released, and many others were published or released by independent labels. In addition, the range of countries represented continues to grow, with entries from Asia, South America, and eastern Europe alongside those from the UK, USA, and western Europe. Settings of Blake’s music have long appealed to composers in Russia and Brazil, for instance, but the relative ease with which artists can now present their music to a global audience makes it much easier to discover such compositions. Pop and alternative forms of music dominate, as they did in last year’s list, but in contrast to 2022 there has been a significant rise in classical settings, such as Mark Bowler and Marianna Suri’s excellent Fragments of Experience or Morten Poulsen’s A Clear Midnight, which includes beautiful renditions of various poems from Songs of Innocence. Among those settings is “A Cradle Song,” one of the most popular poems for composers in 2023, with five versions. “The Angel” and various compositions based on The Marriage of Heaven and Hell also appear several times, and there are a dozen recordings of “A Poison Tree.” By far the favorite, however, is “The Tyger,” which was set to music twenty-five times, in versions as radically different as Nikholas Anderson’s darkly ambient “In the Forests of the Night,” ESD Melo’s Brazilian Afrobeats, or Andrew Miller’s complex choral arrangement performed by the Dordt University Choir. We omit here any songs based on a single quotation or phrase from Blake’s poetry or art. Wherever possible, the country of the artist is given, as well as the work’s instrumentation, duration, publisher, copyright date, and genre. So prevalent is streaming now, however, that we no longer record the format, with nearly every release being available only through streaming services or as a digital download. As such, all entries include at least one link to a recording. Adlington, Lucy — UK From Daughters of Albion ; for voice, guitar, bass, and synthesizers. Independent, © 2023. Ambient.
