Van Morrison sample

October 28, 2007 5:14 AM

Calling all Van Morrison fanatics. I'm trying to identify a sample of music used at the end song "A town called Paradise" on the album "No guru, no method, no teacher". I can't upload the music here (don't know how) but the sample appears 5 minutes and 18 seconds into the song. It's driving me mad cos I heard the piece before, many years ago and I can't place it.

I think it's a classical piece and was used in an epic western film like "The magnificent seven" or something like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've completely forgotten the song, but Google-fu claims it's "Jerusalem". You can hear it here.

I mean, I've forgotten the Morrison song in question, not Blake's "Jerusalem."

You know, FelliniBlank, I think you're right. I was on a completely different track. I really should have known it, living in London, where they sing it every Sunday on TV.
Thanks a bunch. I can relax now
