I promised my friend who's away at band camp some sappy videos when she gets back, and thirdly, I got a buttload of new Tudors clips because I was pretty sick of using the same scenes in ALL my videos.

Therefore, I arrived at this. The editing's...a little shoddy, but you'll get over it. If we believe "Greensleeves" /was/ written by Henry, I think it's pretty obvious that it was about Anne...but that's just me. This version of the song is actually a Christmas song, because the artist is Mannheim Steamroller. I like it, though.

As usual, the clips came from http://natalie-dormer.org ; everything belongs to Showtime. No copyright infringement intended. Enjoy!

  • I think you got the second part of your info WRONG!! Greensleeves' tune is used for "What Child Is This" Christmas song.. CHECK YOUR CAROL-ING BOOKS/SONGS PLEASE!

  • @simhui89 Excuse me, but I think you'll find that plenty of Christmas albums--including Mannheim Steamroller--refer to this song as "Greensleeves," its original name. With its rewritten LYRICS, it is, of course "What Child is This," but the melody is nevertheless "Greensleeves."

  • lovely videoo :) what did you use to make it?

  • Thank you. =] Windows Movie Maker.

  • @simhui89 'What Child Is This' Is simply a rip off of Greensleeves, as are many caroling songs.

  • why don't people compose music like this any more? 

  • @simhui89 "What Child is This" was written in 1865 by William Chatterton Dix. Greensleeves was written in 1580. The melody is all "Greensleeves" not "What Child is This". However, there are some Christmas song books that do call this song "What child is this", but you are singing the wrong song. It is originally Greensleeves.

  • I love this video!!! =) The Tudors forever!

  • ¿quien es la muchacha que esta abrazando a ana, en el 1:44?

  • linda!!!!!

  • @notabigmoose Yeah it was definately written for Anne. Green in those days did not represent good but bad, so it was unusual that he choose to call it greenselves.

  • @notabigmoose no it was for anne and it was about when she wore her Favorite green dress and yes henry wrote it for Her and he even played it for her and to her not jane he only wrote songs for his second wife anne
