for SATB unaccompanied Vaughan Williams composed this setting of a
poem by his wife Ursula in 1953 to form part of A Garland for the
Queen, a collection of ten tributes to the newly-crowned Queen
Elizabeth II by leading British composers and poets. It is
dedicated 'to the memory of Charles Villiers Stanford, and his Blue
Bird', and reflects Stanford's masterpiece in its harmonic
language, floating soprano part, unaccompanied scoring, and
haunting atmosphere.
