If this song does not stand in G minor? unsigned contribution by Mjchael 20:48, 6 February 2012
- It is in Dorian mode --Mussklprozz (talk) 22:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- Compare my transponation in A-Minor http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Liederbuch:_Greensleeves It seem to be melodic minor. E-Major is the dominant of A-Minor. The D-Major is missing, so that you kannt say, that this is A-dorian. And the changing form E-Minor is unusual in A-Dorian. The Dominant-Tonika(Minor) moving looks more like melodic Minor.

- The example given in the picture is G-dorian, not A-dorian. Nowadays, there obviously exist interpretations both in minor and in dorian. See, for instance: [1]. You will find many other sources and discusssions about the topic on the internet, including the english wikipedia article en:Greensleeves.
