On May 1, I performed with the Pittsburgh Historical Music Society Orchestra at the May Day event at Depreciation Lands Museum in Allison Park, PA. And since I'm also a Tudor/Plantagenet history enthusiast, May is often Anne Boleyn month in a lot of Tudor history circles and today (when this video is posted) is the day on which Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife and mother of Elizabeth I, was executed based on very flimsy claims. I decided to post Greensleeves today because one of the legends behind the song is that Henry VIII wrote it (or at least a version of the poem) for Anne Boleyn when he was trying court her and annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. I hope you enjoy this more classical and operatic version of the song. As I said before, while I love singing metal, rock, and folk, I do love returning to my classical and opera roots!
