Hmm, this is a rare arrangement in that it uses the minor scale. Usually it's in the Dorian mode and the tune's original version is that way, I think. This is a beautiful, sensitive performance anyway.
Greensleeves was originally in Dorian mode and thisis done in in the minor key. Although it makes it more moody in the vein of the video, I prefer Dorian.
I'm learning to play this in guitar ensemble, and when I first started to play it well enough it sounded like this I could have sworn I heard it somewhere. I search this up now and listen to it, with the mystery of where I heard it still unsolvable. I love this song.
Even thought it is no big deal when i hear this track i want to cry it is so wonderful and i ould like to know what short of ass....s disliked that song!!!!
FINALLY! i remember hearing this on one of those kids keyboards (and a bunch of other places) but never anywhere where i could look up what the name was. been in the back of my mind for ages. good to finally know what it's called and where i can find it when i want it.
I listened this music on my children's synthesizer wheh I was 3 or 4 years old... So, about 15 years ago. Happy days. But I still love this ballade in 2012...
@TheKemico thumbs up if you love this track coz......here comes the tutorial title : Greensleeves - What Child Is This? (Christmas Carol) [Easy Piano Tutorial]
@Iloveanimals8755 it wasn't written as a Christmas song, however an 1865 lyrical interpretation has made it one by default. Still able to use year-round however, since technically it isn't one
@panzorgoethe I actually got it from the office... Dwight was playing this in his recorder and said that is a traditional english melody (er song... Can't remember) about the beheaded ann boleyn then he started reading a book about a guy that cuts off kids fingers when the suck their thumbs...
The dislikers are probably Hong Kong Secondary School students, because this plays before every listening exam, Chinese and English alike, as the background music for the preparation time. Hong Kong exams are notorious for it's difficulty, so I guess that makes sense...
I was just saying this song is greatly feared and hated by over 90% of Hong Kong students simply because our beloved Education Bureau decided to play it before those notoriously hard listening exams. Won't be surprised if Hong Kong students dislike it.
@DanLeadbetter I think it's just a jokey/memey thingy that someone somewhere on "teh intranets" started and it's been spreading like wildfire. I think it's making fun of terrible analogies that people come up with.
whenever i listen to classical songs such as this i always want to listen to more of it and feel weird if i dont and listen to any other genre. i hope i am not the only one who feels this way
I had a go playing this on my guitar, this is a true masterpiece and although I didn't play it with the same level of technique or musical mastery, I played it with emotion, sharing what I could with this beautiful song :)
@reddiver1234 nope. It's a fairly common tune that most people will recognise without actually knowing the name! but most people know someone who can name the tune after they have it hummed to.
such a beautiful song and scenery... such a shame to muck it up at the end with all that 'global warming" nonsense... I will be editing that out and reposting :D
not originally, best guess is it was written by an unknown italian writer before 1580 (which was when it was finally registered) The Christmas tune What child is this was written in 1865 to the traditional tune of Greensleeves.

@MyFavRGoldKittys what just because im irish i must love potatoes because umm well i do plz plz plz i want a potato mmm i love them mashed i love them fried i even like when there shredded and mixed with cheese to make a casserole
Dude....the best best part of your high votes isn't that you earned them with the offer of potatoes; it's that you secretly earned them while using a really obscure Shakespeare reference. Well played!
great song. you retards need to learn to not take your own opinions so seriously... i swear to god, no one cares. if you really want to voice your meaningless opinions, get a blog (that no one will read). also, if you said this song was "inspirational" or "motivating" or "moving" or "deep" or "symbolic", kill yourself. i just want to listen to something once without some dumbass saying it was "inspirational". if you need inspiration from a song, die.
@travislpemberton "you retards need to learn to not take your own opinions so seriously..."
Does that include you, or are you above the rest of society? Now, I don't want to start a pointless flame war, but calm down dude. There are different kinds of people on our planet, and not a single person hears a melody the same way. Some of us are more sensitive to music that, ironically, is moving. That, however, doesn't mean that anyone should kill themselves.
