Greensleeves variations - Daniel Estrem, renaissance lute and archlute
Музыка
Daniel Estrem performing "Greensleeves to a Ground" a set of 16 variations credited to Anonymous. This setting is published for flute accompanied by guitar and adapts well as a lute duet for renaissance lute and archlute
from Wikipedia:
There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn.[5] Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henry's attempts to seduce her and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writer's love "cast me off discourteously". However, the piece is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after Henry's death, making it more likely to be Elizabethan in origin.[6]

Good Morning Daniel, I very much enjoyed this duet. A lovely treatment of a tune that can become a bit "passe" if care is not taken. I like the little historical background notes on the origin of the tune as well. The King Henry story is one that is always rolled out whenever this is played and has taken on a life of it's own now. I guess we will never know who wrote this but I don't think Henry VIII did. You seem to be enjoying being the custodian of the Archlute. This piece shows it of well so thanks for posting it. Anne and I are slowly improving and today is our "official" release date from isolation but we do not really have the energy to do much. It certainly knocks one back a bit. So a quick note to all of Dan's dedicated viewers, Folks please take care not to get this bug. It really is unpleasant All of you you Keep safe and Dan, will you please keep playing and keeping us entertained. Clive

My girlfriend came back to town after moving away to visit, for the prom. But in the days before hand, I came across this video, and was completely moved by it. So I learned how to play Greensleves on my guitar (completely huge genre change to what I normally play) and played it for her. Added some of my own personal lyrics to it too. She loved it. So all I must say, is thank you, sir. And keep it up!!

Greensleeves has been one of my favourite melodies since hearing Vaughn Williams' Fantasia as a toddler (my mother used to tell how I insisted she put the record on or I wouldn't go to sleep) fifty-odd years ago. I especially liked this rendition showing off the range and sonority of the archlute. And of course, your playing was sublime too!

Hi there, I discovered ur music around 2.5 years ago when I was pregnant with my baby. I had never heard greensleeves before. I absolutely fell in love with it and heard this version on repeat so many many times. Now that baby is about to turn 2 on 3/14. She absolutely loves this version too. She says "mama play greensleeves" and twirls to it :). Wants to hear it on repeat too. thank you for playing beautiful music. Love lots of ur other videos. Have a great day
