We're releasing this video on the 28 June, which is the birthday of perhaps England's most famous King, Henry VIII. This song has long been associated with Henry; some think he wrote it (with 'Greensleeves' referring to his second wife, Anne Boleyn), many don't. But either way it's certainly a melody that originated in 16th century England and we love both the melody and this arrangement by Bob Chilcott: sometimes-bubbling, sometimes-lyrical and with a typically imaginative harmonisation of the chorus. Have a go at singing along with a voice part that suits you, and let us know in the comments how you got on!
