Sing along with The King's Singers: Greensleeves (arr. Bob Chilcott)

We're releasing this video on the 28 June, which is the birthday of perhaps England's most famous King, Henry VIII. This song has long been associated with Henry; some think he wrote it (with 'Greensleeves' referring to his second wife, Anne Boleyn), many don't. But either way it's certainly a melody that originated in 16th century England and we love both the melody and this arrangement by Bob Chilcott: sometimes-bubbling, sometimes-lyrical and with a typically imaginative harmonisation of the chorus. Have a go at singing along with a voice part that suits you, and let us know in the comments how you got on!
