Today's Target lesson is now live ..

Greensleeves" is a traditional English Folk song. The piece was probably composed before the year 1580 since a ballad by this name was registered in that year.

Nobody knows who the composer of Greensleeves is, although there is a persistent belief that the piece was composed by Henry VIII. Greenleeves is also mentioned in some of Shakespeare works. Through the centuries, Greenleaves has been a beloved piece.

There are many instrumental and song type versions. The guitar arrangement that is used for this lesson includes a main theme in traditional stile plus two variations. The first variation uses a set of arpeggios that follow the classical style from the 1800s. The 2nd variation is stylistically closer to the original theme.

It is a Level 4 and available now ..

Hope you enjoy this

Cheers

It has some counterpoint and ornaments that are found in renaissance music.
