Greensleeves
Anonymous/Francis Cutting
Greensleeves, one of the most well-known themes from music history, was written in sixteenth century England. Legend states that a hopelessly lovesick Henry VII (yes, the same one that had various wifes executed) composed the song for a certain Lady Greensleeves. The music includes two versions. One originates from the William Ballet Lute Book, the second one was composed by Francis Cutting. The second version is a quite more complex version of the first Greensleeves theme.
