He was a english composer Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century.
the song first appeared in 1850 in a form of ballad and later published in a few books and used in different operas and with different version of lyrics, not until In 1934 ralph arranged his 'Fantasia on Greensleeves' in which another old folk tune 'Lovely Joan' was incorporated into the central section of a melody which begins and ends with Greensleeves. The meaning behind this tune remains a mystery as diffferent version of lyrics has very different connotations, it was once a political tune, once a love ballad, and many other forms. Nevertheless this tune has been used for over 400 years, and has been used in films, opera, festivals, concerts.

Which is a very good tool used to build up the atmosphere of the film/ animation.
