Format : Vocal Score The English King Henry VIII (1491-1547) is mainly remembered for disposing of his wives on a regular basis and breaking with the Catholic Church when the Pope Clement VII refused to grant him a divorce so he could marry AnneBoleyn. He was however a gifted athlete dancer and composer writing many songs poems and consort pieces (though not Greensleeves as is often believed). Pastime with Good Company is undoubtedly the best-known ofthese written in the first years of the 16th century while he was still a handsome prince newly married to Catherine of Aragon and theenvy of Europe. The lyrics tell the joys of hunting dancing and singing and would have beensung as part of the court entertainment.
