This is a choral setting by Philip Lane of Vaughan Williams' ever-popular Fantasia on Greensleeves. Two sets of words are given: either the traditional folk song words for "Greensleeves" can be used or alternatively "The King of Love my shepherd is" makes it suitable for church use. An SATB choir is accompanied by piano or this choral version can be sung with an orchestral accompaniment by using the original orchestral version of Fantasia on Greensleeves (arranged by Ralph Greaves) which is now published for sale in the Goodmusic Orchestral Series (Catalogue number GMCL128).
