Greensleeves (trio arrangement)

[Martin Jonas]

There are lots of different versions of Greensleeves -- this one is based on the setting and variation by Allan Alexander from "Renaissance Music for Mandolin". I'm using his variation as a accompaniment for the melody.

Played as a trio of two mandolins (unison for the first verse, then alternating melody and variation) and tenor guitar arpeggios.

1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin
Ozark tenor guitar

Thank you so much for this Martin.

I practiced Green Sleeves with a friend yesterday. After my husband's passing I am a little rusty playing my mandolin. Though I did the solo and my friend played chords on guitar. I must say for two rusty ol' musos it was OK. Though I dare say some work is still needed.

My thanks for sharing the music.

A gorgeous piece and I loved the Pre-Raphalite paintings that went along with it. I saw an exhibition of the main three artists at the National Gallery one year.
