Beg, borrow or steal a cello player to perform this enchanting setting of the English folk tune GREENSLEEVES. The cello part is NOT optional - it plays the melody throughout while handbells provide accompaniment. The cello part, however, may also be played on a C instrument or by a handbell/handchime soloist. This truly unique offering for Christmas is 58 measures and is set in e minor.
