Not sure that it’s anything to lose your head over, but here’s one of Henry’s greatest hits:

It’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it.

And yes, “Greensleeves” is also frequently attributed to him. He probably didn’t write it, but it’s always prudent to side with the king.

Some other composers inspired by Henry:

Edward German, “Henry VIII: Three Dances”

John Foulds, “Henry VIII: Suite”

Sir Arthur Sullivan, “Henry VIII: Incidental Music”

Camille Saint-Saëns, opera “Henry VIII”

One of the commenters was kind enough to post the performers and a synopsis beneath the video.

From the same opera, Henry and Anne Boleyn

It’s good to be the king! Happy birthday, Sire.
