A former chorister of St Paul’s Cathedral in London and a pupil of Richard Brind, Maurice Greene became organist of the cathedral on his teacher’s death, then organist of the Chapel Royal in 1727, Professor of Music at Cambridge in 1730 and Master of the King’s Musick in 1735. A friend of Handel, he left anthems and twelve voluntaries for organ or harpsichord published after his death.
