is this the standard way the song is played? I have heard this before but many versions. I like this one the most as it is clearer however I am unsure of it's origins and how it was intended to be played :/
the notes for this song are: la do re mi fa mi re si sol# la si do la la sol la si sol mi
la do re mi fa mi re si sol# la si do si la sol fa sol la
sol sol fa mi re si sol lá si do la la sol# la si sol mi
sol sol fa mi re si sol la si do si la sol fa# sol# la (WHERE : lá =A si=B do=C re=D mi=E fa=F and sol=G) since english speaking countries only use letters.
Well my friend, I am Adrian Brett, who is playing this piece...and as you can see from comments here...I HAVE knocked quite a few people out!! adrianbrett@mac.com
@RMB3730 wow how old are you if you don't mind me asking.You do great flute work.My mom played the flute in middle school.It's a shame I didn't get the flute skills from her.
This world is ours, we have beautiful things! Let the love, peace, friendship! We will be happy if we can attract only good stuff! we are blessed, look inside you! bless up!
after hearing this .. i go to toilet and while opening the door i exepect some elve sitting in the shitter .. but guess wath not this time ... AGAIN !
Even if no one had told me that this is a traditional song from England, I would still have been able to associate it with England. There is something unique and enigmatic about this song that associates it with England.
Ohh, how I miss England and the 8 memorable months I spent there! I wish I return some day.
I fell in love with this song when I was seven years old, and that loves still burns as strong as it did the first time I heard it. It just goes to show you what such elegant music can do. Make an everlasting love for it :)
Jesus Lord send me a lighting full of electricity now!
I know how to play this on flute too, but im not gonna post a video haha I dont know how.
This song was used by sleeping song, in the movie Alamo of 1960 remembring what its TEXAS.. And finally a song played in Medieval times by englishmen and italians.
it makes me think of a pair of lovers, one of whom is dying of a severe illness. they're enjoying one last summer walk among the fireflies, somewhere by a lake, but the sick partner has to lay down for a moment. starting about 1:05, the healthy partner is crying while the sick partner says "don't worry" and they begin to reminisce about happier times. at about 2:05, the sick partner gives a melancholic smile, slowly closes there eyes and dies. ...anyway, my imagination is weird =P
I actually pictured 2 guys for some reason. guy 1 being muscular but baby faced and guy 2 (dying) being more feminine/elven looking. despite looking younger, guy 2 is more experienced/mature and has had a more traumatic past. guy 1 is a samurai and the guy 2 is an assassin. he tells guy 2 that he has always admired him for being strong and healthy. even though guy 1 is a more skilled warrior, he is more frail and gracile... like I said, my imagination is weird. too much anime =P
@raigekimaru Now that you mention it... yeah that works as well. Although I keep seeing Kim Jaejoong and Jung Yunho together...... *stop thinking, stop thinking, stop thinking!!!*
the guys I pictured were pretty much made up, but I could also picture Lelouch and Suzaku from Code Geass while listening to this. the dynamic of their friendship really matched this song
@justaman6972 Many historians give him credit for writing it for Anne Boleyn, when he was madly in love with her before their marriage (and later playing it for Katherine Howard, Anne's cousin and his 5 wife. according to myth)
@msorlandobloom100 thanks I thought that this was ndeed the case ,till he went on a head choppin rant , what a jerk! Great tune though particularly on the flute.
I would change the discription if i was you, Greensleeves has been proven to be of italien origin and infact did not even reach England until after henry the 8th death.
@benymen10 i would have to aggree with sazmullium on this one..I remember my teacher telling the facts of this song but no matter the song is beautifull..good day freinds
i play the ocarina i am self taught and play fairly well, sadly my list of songs os small because i can't find sheet music for wind instraments.. i was hoping i could just get a list of notes for this song.. it'd be greatly apprieciated. thank you
this song calms me down especially now that my little cousins are here (they're 7 and 9), they are SO annoying. i listen to this song whenever i wanna hit them cuz their squeaky voices are a bit too much to bear.
god i know how you feel(sadly). i have 10 and 3 year brothers, WHO FIGHT CONSTANTLY. This song makes me feel less like convincing my parents to put them up for adoption :D
haha, my aunt WOULD KILL ME if i asked her to put them up for adoption. the good news is they're leaving tomorrow! it's Monday and they're leaving on Tuesday morning. yay!
My favorite 'classical' song, I think it's meant to be played on a flute. This is one of the best versions I've heard. For guitar it be Liona Boyd's version.
