Browning à 5 ("The leaves be green")

This magnificent composition is a set of 20 variations on the melody of a popular song: "The leaves be green", which celebrated the ripening of nuts in autumn.
“Browning” or “The Leaves be Green” was a popular tune of the late 16th century and several other composers of the era also used it as a basis for a composition. Versions by Clement Woodcock, Henry Stonings and Elway Bevin have also survived. In all of them, one part plays the basic melody while the other parts weave a polyphony around it.

The lyrics to the song are:

The leaves be green,
The nuts be brown.
They hang so high,
They will not come down.
