 Maurice Greene
Maurice Greene was, in many ways, the most naturally gifted of Handel's English contemporaries - "the one English composer of the period" according to JA Fuller-Maitland, "who undoubtedly deserves the honour of being mentioned in the same breath with the great masters of the continent".
That Greene was heavily influenced by the older man is obvious enough, but that his creative talent was thereby stifled, or that his work is no more than a pallid reflection of Handel's undeniably greater art is a nonsense which will be sufficiently evident from the music he has left us.
Greene's posthumous reputation has suffered much from the views of those two great late eighteenth century writers on music, Charles Burney and Sir John Hawkins, neither of whom was favourably disposed to him and, until recently, these views, endlessly repeated by successive generations of armchair historians, have prevailed.
