about

Released in the week that nightingales return to Northern Europe, the story of the Chinese Emperor and the Nightingale:

lyrics

"There was once an Emperor of China who learned that one of the most beautiful things in his kingdom was the song of the nightingale. He ordered the nightingale to be brought to him from the forest to the palace, where it stayed as the Emperor's favourite.

One day, the Emperor was given a jewel-encrusted mechanical bird. it sang so beautifully, the Emperor lost interest in the real nightingale. Heartbroken, the nightingale flew back to the forest. But the mechanical bird eventually broke down and the Emperor was taken ill. Hearing rumours of the Emperor's condition, the nightingale returned to the palace and sang to the Emperor on his deathbed. Death heard the nightingale’s song, and was so moved that he allowed the Emperor to live".

From ‘The Emperor and The Nightingale’ by Hans Christian Andersen
