Re: Greensleeves on zither
Hey Chris,
There is an arrangement by Heinz Nachbaur jun. in Psalteria's Spielheft 6 Band B that sounds really nice. It's actually one of my favorite books. Here is a link to where you can find it on Stretta Music. https://www.stretta-music.com/en/heinz- ... 16792.html
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Greensleeves on zither
I found another version in
https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/ro ... ic/8136553
arranged by Zahaberger (c) 1983. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available through Stretta. That album contains several other popular "romantic" tunes.
After realising that I didn't know anything about the history of the song, I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensleeves and was baffled to learn something unexpected about its "Lyrical Interpretation" ...

Re: Greensleeves on zither
Greensleeves is right at (or just past) the edge of my playing ability. I'm working off of a home-made arrangement from the the Catholic "Gather" hymnal, keeping it in G (B minor??). Right now trying to get the notes into Forte' for pdf. More later.
Yes, aloo practicing Christmas music, although there won't be any parties at this time. We may just do the Australian thing and celebrate in summer. We're already thinking about a "Thanksgiving Day" for next August. With the virus (hopefully) gone, we'll have a lot to be thankful for.
Keep 'er movin'.

Re: Greensleeves on zither
The attachment is the form of Greensleeves currently being struggled with. As mentioned before, this is just past my skill level; hope I get it together before Christmas.
Happy abd blessed Thanksgiving to all.

Re: Greensleeves on zither
Measures 8,9,15,24,25,and 31 are a sort of lazy man's minor. There is a shift from b to e in measure 9.
