Greensleeves is one of the most popular and endearing English folk songs dating back over 400 years. From as far back as the 17 th century, numerous Christmas and New Year texts were associated with the tune, and many people also know it as the carol What Child Is This? Some of the best settings of hymns and folk tunes among the band repertoire feature the tune in a direct fashion that enhances the integrity of the melody. Alfred Reed’s setting of this melody for mature bands comes to mind as a wonderful example. In this setting for young band, I wanted to convey the simple sincerity of the melody line and infuse new counter-melodies alongside that would add interest for the musicians. Throughout the work, it is important for the winds to play in a connected style and give all notes full value. I hope this piece gives your students a great experience with this folk tune and allows you to work on lyric playing at a moderate tempo. My best to you and your ensembles with Greensleeves!
