Greensleeves 是一首十六世紀開始流傳於英格蘭民間的旋律和歌謠,作者始終不詳,是英國傳唱數百年、歷久不衰的神秘歌謠,也是少數幾首廣為世人喜愛的英國民謠。Greensleeves 的歌詞版本很多,大致都以隱喻歡場女子的 Greensleeves 為主軸,英國坊間傳言此曲出自英王亨利八世,姑且聽之,不必全信。 - [1 u. ^3 a5 M ^% G7 I2 ] 0 P- [+ B) G/ V" A2 r: s 5 I/ |. t' o+ e# p; H( f- F國王歌手 (King's Singer) 成立於 1968 年,團員始終維持六人,聲音結構上,有一位男高音 (tenor)、兩位高音男中音 (countertenor)、兩位男中音 (baritone)、一位男低音 (bass),無樂器伴奏的純清唱模式是他們的特色。這個清唱版本,是該團體 2008 年夏天在倫敦 The BBC Proms 的現場演出版本。+ p+ `; @: I( ]- y3 Z!
