This is the original orchestral version of Vaughan Williams´ famous fantasia which first appeared in his opera 'Sir John in Love'. Apart from the main folk-tune 'Greensleeves' the centre section uses another folk-tune entitled 'Lovely Joan'. This version adapted and arranged by Ralph Greaves has been popular in the concert hall and in recordings since it first appeared.Now out of print in the Oxford University Press catalogue this work has been newly engraved and reissued in this Goodmusic edition but otherwise unaltered.
