'The Blue Bird' was one of eight settings included in Op. 119; the other seven are no longer well-known. If this was the only work that we remembered Charles Villiers Stanford for he would be well-worth recalling.

A jewel of English music, The Blue Bird first appeared as the third of these eight partsongs to words by the Victorian poet and novelist Mary Coleridge. Published shortly after her death in 1908, Op. 119 is the first of two such cycles composed in response to the refined sensibility of her poetry, which proved an ideal match for Stanford's mastery of word-setting and of the romantic choral idiom.
