Jerusalem-Yerushalayim is an oratorio composed by Antony Pitts^[1] between 2006-2008^[2], and is scored for SATB soloists, semi-chorus, full chorus, and ensemble including harp, piano, and organ. The oratorio tells the Biblical story of Jerusalem^[3] and the text is based directly on the Old Testament. Unusually, it includes Hebrew transliterations of many names and places^[4]. It was first performed in a chamber version by TONUS PEREGRINUS as part of the Opera Fringe festival in Downpatrick Cathedral in Northern Ireland on 8 June 2008^[5]^[6].

The oratorio is in four parts of three movements each, plus a coda The Peace of Jerusalem which was premiered one year earlier in Israel by Jeremy Summerly and The Choir of London^[7]. The a cappella coda has also been recorded by TONUS PEREGRINUS on the Hyperion album Alpha and Omega.
