Greensleeves

My Ladye Greensleeves is one of the most famous and well-loved British folk melodies. A popular legend has attributed the tune to King Henry VIII but in reality it is unlikely to have been written by him and probably dates from the Elizabethan era. It has remained popular for over four centuries and has been arranged many times most famously by Ralph Vaughan Williams in his Fantasia on Greensleeves.My Ladye Greensleeves has been arranged for SATB chorus by Norman Stone. It includes a Piano reduction for rehearsal purposes.

A lilting piano accompaniment supports the lyric vocal lines in this traditional English folksong arranged for SAB voices. “Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight.”

Based on Greensleeves-Here is a unique and creative setting of the familiar tune Greensleeves (What Child Is This') that opens with the melody scored softly for the woodwinds. The full ensemble contributes a series of harmonically rich phrasesuntil the work reaches an emotional climax at the powerfully scored key change. While this is certainly effective as a holiday offering it can be performed as a memorable tone poem any time of the year. Dur: 4:10
