The Greensleeves Project

Recording a selection of 16th and 17th century music and song for the Greensleeves Project www.greensleevesproject.uk - an interdisciplinary collaboration looking at representations of clothing in early modern British musical sources, and creating an accessible resource of videos, recordings, texts, images and reconstructed clothing, supported by the Society of Antiquaries. We began with the 16th Century ballad of Greensleeves, creating videos and documentaries which have been seen by over 400,000 viewers, but have now identified over 100 songs, dances and instrumental solos (some well known, but mostly little-known repertoire of good musical value). We will record, and hope to tour, this repertoire to bring early music to a different audience.
