Here is a beloved old, old piece of music that was taken up by the English composer Ralph Vaughn Williams. He did a beautiful Fantasia version for orchestra, which has now become pretty much the defacto rendition for this very old madrigal song. It has been claimed that it was written by no other than William Shakespeare himself, and also, a King from the same period. Here I have done a Virtual Music Box rendition of that very work. I did this arrangement by ear, as I did not have any luck finding the particular music score I needed. I may have missed a thing or two here and there, but, by and large it's intact and quite lush.
