Oh yes, Fairy Day is gorgeous, and somehow it had passed me by previously when trawling through the archives. I think I assumed it was a song like Fairy Lough and ignored it, but how beautiful. Jeremy Dibble seems to think it was performed by the St. Cecilia Society in 1913 and then in Philadelphia by Horatio Parker. Is this doubtful? I'm sure you know more than me. Anyway, thank you this piece. It could usefully be added to a CD of orchestral music, to encourage those who mostly listen to concertos and orchestral works to hear Stanford's choral genius.
