Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on Greensleeves

About Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on Greensleeves

This is England's classic folk song of all time & that will never change. & green fields, cut by hedgerows as old as this track, almost in the same league as the " The Lark...............conjuring up in one's mind, the open countryside of Ralph's age & magnificents, unbroken through all time, a romantics song. .
