'Anne Boleyn' from Try Me Good King: Last Words of the Wives of Henry VIII by Libby Larsen

Written by contemporary American composer Libby Larsen, Try Me, Good King recounts the final words of the wives of King Henry VIII. The songs explore the Queens' final thoughts and emotions as they approach death. The text in 'Anne Boleyn' is derived from three sources: a letter that Anne wrote to Henry VIII, two letters that Henry VIII wrote to Anne, and Anne's speech at her execution on May 19, 1536.
