Publisher's Synopsis

This exquisite Fantasia on the timeless English folk song 'Greensleeves' was arranged for viola/cello and piano by Watson Forbes. It features sweeping expressive phrases reminiscent of the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. The folk tune 'Lovely Joan' is included alongside the Greensleeves tune, forming the basis of a more animated central section.
