Short & sweet
Thomas Robinson (c 1560 – c 1610) was a lutenist who published a tutor for lute (The Schoole of Musicke) in 1603. This piece is the seventeenth of the works in the tutor that I have arranged for low-G ukulele, and will be posting over the next few weeks.
"Bon(n)y sweet boy" is a version of "Robin is to the Greenwood gone", which I posted as part of a compendium of "Robins", which you can read here.
You can view and download the arrangement here.
