This is a nice song; it has a catchy tune. I've also heard that Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves but I don't know if that is as true as him writing this song.

no lets not.. its coz of them that im out of a job.. this is our country and they dont respect that.. why did they run from their countries,, cowards.. english would fight till their deaths b4 runnin away
a) It's because they're better at the job than you that you're out of a job, and nothing else. b) Bullshit. If what you said was true, we would still be under complete control of the following: - Canada - Newfoundland - America - Australia - India - Iraq - Kuwait - Palestine - Ireland And many, many more. You have absolutely no idea what it is to be in the situation those people are in. in Maybe if you payed more attention in History and English you'd have better luck getting a job.

a) most of them don't respect the country but who cares this countries full of shit like all the chavs from the estates who throw petrol bombs at pigs ect.
b)from the sounds of it you love this country , tbh i would go to a different country if england went to war with a large country(eg russia, china,usa.)
C)i wouldn't fight to my death for England , we'd only be saving people who live off the benefits by having like a hundred kids.
englands had its time leave it to die. i am english!
personally I like the wind ensemble concert band version of this piece, it's a lot more dramatic and brings a whole new feeling to the piece. We are performing it in our winter concert in a few weeks. This is a great example of the traditional style in which henry VIII wrote it. Excellent performance.
At the time, one wrote parts without specification for voice or instrument. The concept of orchestration did not ferment until Monteverdi. Pieces were meant to be performed with whatever instruments and voices were at hand, and the period instrumentalists understood how to ornament parts 'on the fly.' Its somewhat similar to figured bass for bass continuo, but more an instructed method acquired from teachers and rarely written down.
@lolliesareyum oui, au moins pour moi :D

Hnery did not write Greensleeves it is an Elizabethan song. That type of music didnt even come to England until after Henry's death :)
