Description
Greensleeves 16th century Anonymous dance For Classical Guitar
Transcribed, extended and annotated
by Vincent F. Coley
The earliest known source of the tune (Trinity College, Dublin
ms. D.I.21, c.1580) known as “William Ballet's lute book”.
This is just one of many versions of this dance, from bawdy
tavern songs to Christmas carols— instrumental solos to full
orchestral productions and, in character with the spirit of the
Renaissance, there will be many more to follow.
