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). His "Twelve Voluntaries" were published posthumously
(1799-80) by John Bland. Each of these twelve voluntaries is in
two complementary sections (a slower section followed by a faster
section).
