Description:
Greensleeves is one of the most popular and endearing English folk songs, dating back over 400 years. Also known as the Christmas carol "What Child Is This?" the haunting melody is one of the best-known folk and hymn settings in band repertoire. This arrangement conveys the simple sincerity of the melodic line, infused with new countermelodies to give interest to every section of the ensemble.
