I thought it might be the medieval Babes but could find no credits for the music. Would sure like to know who it is. Thanks, James |

I did make a note in this thread about the inaccuracy of "Greensleeves" but regardless, I thought the music was well done. |

The man who put the music together was Martin Phipps (godson of Benjamin Britton) who has a degree in drama. I would guess that he stitched the music together from recordings and the help of BBC studio musicians. He has many film and TV credits, but apparently was not considered important enough to be given credit for the musical side of the production.
