"Hey Ho, To the Greenwood Round"
Attributed to William Byrd (1674–1744)
Adapted and Arranged by Stanley M. Hoffman
(b. 1959) (BMI)
The tune is presented in the minor key until the final movement in which it is presented in its parallel major key; it is known in its major guise, and in C Major, not E Major. The key was chosen for ease of string instrument playing.
