The Children recorded two settings of his songs to mark the Blake jubilee year. Though Blake is known to have sung his songs, and musicians are said to have noted his melodies, none has so far been found. But when you start to put music to his words, they sometimes seem to set themselves, so naturally do they go with melody.
