Music Notes:


Maurice Greene (1695-1755) born in London, was a chorister at
St Paul Cathedral; took organ lessons (1710) and became organist
at St Dunstan in the West (1716) then at St Andrew (1717); appointed
Master of the King's Band (1718); published 40 anthems (1743);
inherited a large estate (1750) which enabled him to work on a
collection of Cathedral music with publication in mind but it was
left incomplete and finished by William Boyce (c1710-1779).
"Twelve Voluntaries" were published posthumously (1799-80)
by John Bland; each is in two complementary sections (slower
section then faster section).
