The story of William Guise, who in 1651 was executed without trial by royalists after the Battle of Worcester. He was a local tailor who supported Oliver Cromwell (i.e. anti-monarchy). He spied on Charles II and his cavaliers discussing battle plans, then told Cromwell, leading to the King's defeat and England's only period as a republic. But the royalists hanged him before Cromwell could take control of the city. They made a death mask of his head and embedded it in a wall as a warning to royalist traitors. It is still there today, and is the cover image for this song.

Lyrics:
i heard the call 
the summon to the hall in the commandery
it's a good job that i did
i heard it all 
the reckless few, the fearing of the many 
though they kept their true thoughts hid

but if they'd said what's in their head
i doubt that history would change
but maybe some things would

armour-clad 
a camisado, fifteen hundred royal men to hit the rebel camp
i was glad 
i think i had always suspected i would upon history leave my stamp

i'd heard my fill 
up to redhill i ran and did the only thing
i'd do it all again
the king's men struck, but with no luck
the rebels knew to be prepared and drove them whence they came

face on a wall 
i didn't mean to wreck it all
the dreams we had of children playing and never saying no

i kind of knew 
that short of you no one would understand me
not the people roundabout
and that was true 
as i came to our home again they grabbed me
and they crowned me with a shroud

still on my feet 
down to broad street they bundled me and strung me up, a symbol on a pole
for those who might 
one autumn night
defy the herd and speak what they believe, not what they're told
and so my name was cast in shame
how can they call it treachery if to yourself you're true

face on a wall 
i didn't mean to wreck it all
the dreams we had of children playing and never saying no
face on a wall 
i guess i heard the rebel call
and if our children hear it too please never tell them no
just let them go

Asher's "A Tribute to Israel" is a medley that combines three well-known Israeli melodies: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, Raid on Antebbe, and Hatikvah (the Israeli national anthem). The medley begins with a slow tempo and employs simple harmonies to create a solemn and reverential mood. Throughout the piece, a simple and expressive melody is repeated, and various techniques such as chromaticism, syncopated rhythms, and orchestration are used to add interest and variation.

One interesting aspect of "A Tribute to Israel" is the influence of Naomi Shemer's "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" on the composition. This song, written in 1967 to celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, has become an iconic Israeli song, with its melody based on an old Hassidic tune and its lyrics expressing a love and longing for Jerusalem.

In "A Tribute to Israel," Asher pays tribute to Shemer's contribution to Israeli music by incorporating a variation of the melody from "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" in the first part of the medley. This use of the melody highlights the song's significance in Israeli culture and music and demonstrates the impact that Shemer had on Israeli music. The melody is played with reverence and a slower tempo, contributing to the overall solemnity of the piece.

In conclusion, "A Tribute to Israel" is a moving medley that combines iconic Israeli melodies, including a variation of "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav." This tribute to Naomi Shemer and her contribution to Israeli music demonstrates the importance of this song in Israeli culture and music and honors its enduring impact.
