Vaughan Williams ~ Fantasia on Greensleeves

I played this on a continuous loop and placed it on my wifes pillow whilst she was laid dying in hospital 6 weeks ago i miss hear dearly, I really dont know what to do im completely lost take care my angel love you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is perfection and so beautiful........to me this is the spiritual essence of an early June morning in the English countryside...

I love England. I love with all my heart. I never want to leave this beautiful land. I might love it more than my own country. Every year is beautiful, the change of seasons makes me wonder which one I love the most! And this composer makes everything even more beautiful!!!

This was the very first version of Greensleeves I’ve ever known, thanks to my father, when I was a little child...I’m still totally in love with it, definitely the best version

I first heard this in a live performance at NYC's Carnegie Hall as a seven year old child, and was so moved that I cried, and could think of nothing else en route home. Sixty six years later, it remains my favorite over any guitar, lute, or vocal version.

Every time I hear Greensleeves it takes me back to 4th-grade choir practice. This and Men of Harlech. Our choir director was Welsh.

I've never knew a masterpiece of classical music to be as so enchanting as this to me 😊

I remember singing this at Sound Primary School Cheshire, in the 1950's. More accurately my class sang it and I mimed it. To my everlasting regret I sing as flat as my dining room table. My father had a beautiful tenor voice. Unfortunately, I inherited my voice from my mother. I'm 72 now, a lover of most musical genres but most particularly Classical. Still can't sing and it was and is a blight on an otherwise wonderful life.

È bellissima, è una delle mie preferite tra la musica classica; l'ho sentita per la prima volta quando avevo 11 anni in una cassetta musicale allegata al libro di musica per la scuola e mi aveva colpito, ora che ne ho più di 30 mi piace ancora ascoltarla anche nelle varie versioni come quella cantata.

I first heard this in HKDSE in Hong Kong as a secondary 3 student, and was so moved that I cried, and could think of nothing else than Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination. 3 years later, it remains my favourite over any vocal version.

This piece of music summed up my whole Dr.Barnados inner emotional childhood growing up in a Grade II listed Mansion in Pype Hayes Park, Birmingham.....it was built in the 1600s by a former Captain of The Kings Calvary....and I remember it having a profound effect upon my whenever I heard it.....somehow it just fitted and added to beautiful melancholy wonderous magical fantasy environment I grew up in......it was only when I was forcibly adopted that I began to realise the World was not just the magical beautiful kind place of my early childhood. It always brings tears to my eyes, but fills me with such a beautiful feeling of wonder, and loss, whenever I hear it.

I love this!! :D regards from Argentina 🇦🇷🌹

Greensleeves has always bern my favourite music. Thank you.

What could be more English. It evokes winnowing wheat, country lanes, roads bordered in hedges and all is well with the world. I love this beyond words. Pure English genius. Genteel, refined and civilized. Yet still genius.

Das ist was für die Seele ich habe auch das Lied als CD.

Beautiful piece of music so emotive and captivating 👏👏🙏🙏

Thank you, Mr. Britain, for posting this lovely recording. ❤ In all my years, I had only heard - and loved - the score with the Christmas carol. Just last evening, this exact recording was played on a classical music podcast. I wondered why they were playing this carol - albeit so beautiful - at this time, and came here on YouTube to add to my favorites. The comments let on there was more than I realized, leading me to jump over to Wikipedia for the full story. Although ashamed I had never known the details, I’m so happy to have finally learned! This lush pastoral rendition really opens one’s heart and stirs deep emotions. I’ve shed more than a few tears listening to it and am happy to now know I can enjoy it all year round!

Love love love just love...

Es bringt mich zum weinen, all meine Emotionen werden gelöst,es ist wunderbar.

Love Vaughan Williams ❤ xxxx
