I mean outside of (maybe) writing Greensleeves

It has been rumored that Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves for Anne Boleyn however it is believed to have been written during the Elizabethan era.

No matter who wrote it, but my favorite interpretation of the song is that of Ralph Vaughan Williams.

England ,Ralph Vaughan Williams , Fantasia on Greensleeves.

I love Vaughn Williams. Have you heard his rendition of Gloucestershire Wassail Song? So pretty.

In the hilarious movie, The Lady in the Van, Frances De La Tour, playing the composer’s wife, walks around her neighborhood introducing herself to complete strangers by saying “I’m Mrs. Vaughn Williams.”
