''Greensleesves'' is one of the most well-known tunes of all time. Originally a [[Tudor Dynasty|Tudor]] song, first known as a [[lute song]], it has survived numerous versions and arrangements from simple voice and instrument settings, solo instruments {lute, guitar, piano, flute, harp and many others and ensemble arrangements, from [[consort]] groups to a full symphonic [[fantasia]]. There are choral arrangements. It has survived an appearance in an [[opera]] and the tune appeared - with appropriately different words - as a [[carol]] (''What Child is This'').
