Greensleaves

Recording and Instrumentation:

This is my first recording with the accordion, so I had to do a bunch of takes with it. Also, I am not use to the whole switching direction of the bellows thing, so that is why there are awkward "breaths." There are two backgroung layers of vocals, a bass, and a falsetto.

• Accordion
• Vocals

Lyrics:

Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off so discourteously
When I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company

Greensleaves was all my joy
Greensleaves was my delight
Greensleaves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleaves

Song History:

This is an old tune as you probably know, but it also provides good practice for accordion chords.
