This version of Greensleeves has been adapted for solo instrument and piano, staying true to the original melody. The arrangement is ideal for beginner to intermediate musicians, providing an authentic and accessible interpretation of this classic piece.
The composition is characterized by an Andante tempo, offering a moderate and graceful rhythm. In 6/8 time, the piece has a fluid and dance-like feel, typical of folk songs from that period.
