I have never heard this song with this arrangement so jazzed up = excellent.  I have heard the clasical version and have played and sang the Church arrangement.  Superb instrumentation!!!

Hey this is out of your box!!! superb job!!  I wouldn't even have thought of Greensleeves being jazzy. But this works really well.

It would be interesting - that's for sure...  I may have to consider it --- It is a song included in the United Mehodist Hymnal - a song I usualy include in my Christmas songlist.  It is called "What Child Is This" --- words by William C. Dix (1865) and music dates back to the 16th century - an English melody now known as "Greensleeves" ---  

This arrangement i do is guitar rythm - i suppose i can attempt the voice...

i never knew this tune had lyrics. i did read somewhere that the melody had something to do with Henry VIII ?

Very cleverly done, liked this, which is rare for me and jazz.

Heck yes this is clever!! Nice one, Tony. Having spent several years playing jazz brass, this is really cool to hear. There is some intriguing depth to the layers in this one. Terrific ending pieces too.
