"Pastime with Good Company" is the most played of the Henry VIII's pieces. Runner-up is "Green Growth the Holly." If you've been told he composed Greensleeves, you've been told incorrectly. "Greensleeves" doesn't appear until forty years after Henry's death, and is stylistically very different.
Henry VIII was said to have wrote the song greensleeves for anne boleyn ( his second wife ) whilst he was still courting her for the seven year period. This is quite likely as Henry enjoyed playing and writing music and was fond of his musical instruments.
