Greensleeves

Variations on an Old Folk Song-Commissioned by the Schott publishing house the present variations on the song Greensleeves were written in 2000 by Genzmer who seized on the suggestion to write a cycle of variations on this Old English melody which had often served as a theme for variations in music history as for example in the famous anonymous cycle 'Greensleeves to a ground' (around 1700). Genzmer keeps the theme simple yet with great virtuosity and original harmony. All parts are written in a linear fashion. The four variations observe almost in a classical manner the principle of increasing differentiation and acceleration of therhythm.Variation 1 uses crotchets and quavers as well as semiquaver triplets whereas Variation 2 uses semiquavers throughout and Variation 3 the somewhat faster semiquaver triplets. Variation 4 stays on this fast rhythmic level with semiquavers and semiquaver triplets. A rewarding piece for the 'Jugend musiziert' competition as well as for advanced lessons.

A flowing piano accompaniment supports the lyric melodic lines in this traditional English folksong. Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight... Performance Time: Approx. 3:10

This is the original orchestral version of Vaughan Williams´ famous fantasia which first appeared in his opera 'Sir John in Love'. Apart from the main folk-tune 'Greensleeves' the centre section uses another folk-tune entitled 'Lovely Joan'. This version adapted and arranged by Ralph Greaves has been popular in the concert hall and in recordings since it first appeared.Now out of print in the Oxford University Press catalogue this work has been newly engraved and reissued in this Goodmusic edition but otherwise unaltered.
