Maurice Greene (1696 - 1755) Royaume-Uni Maurice Greene était un compositeur et organiste anglais, né le 12 août 1696 à Londres, mort le 1er décembre 1755.
Fils d'un pasteur, Maurice Greene devint choriste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres sous la direction de Jeremiah Clarke et Charles King. Il étudia l'orgue avec Richard Brind, et devint organiste de la cathédrale après la mort de ce dernier.
Il devint organiste de la Chapelle Royale à la mort de William Croft en 1727 et professeur de musique à l'Université de cambridge en 1730. En 1735 il fut nommé maître de la musique du roi. Lorsqu'il mourut, il était en train de travailler à l compilation de la « Musique de la Cathédrale » que devait achever William Boyce, son élève et successeur à ce dernier poste. De nombreuses pièces de ce recueil sont encore utilisés aujourd'hui dans le cadre de la liturgie anglicane.
Maurice Greene a composé un bon nombre de pièces vocales, tant sacrées que profanes, et notamment l'oratorio The Song of Deborah and Barak (1732), des mises en musique de sonnets tirés des Amoretti de Edmund Spenser (1739) ainsi qu'un recueil d'anthems en 1743, dont un des plus connus s'intitule : Lord, let me know mine end.

Like
its predecessor Florimel,
Phoebe (1743), the second
of Maurice Greene's two
operas, sets a libretto
by John Hoadly. Probably
written for performance
at the Apollo Society,
founded by Greene himself
in 1733, this three-act
opera, for four soloists
and chorus, is a
beautiful example of the
English pastoral-masque
genre, both musically and
dramatically in the
tradition of Handel's
Acis and Galatea.
The full performing
material for this opera
is available for
rental.

La
Libertà is the most
original, and among the
most attractive, of
Maurice Greene’s
secular vocal
compositions on Italian
texts. Strong
circumstantial evidence
indicates that he wrote
it as a composition for
the celebrated operatic
singer Faustina Bordoni
to sing as a grateful
farewell to her English
patrons and admirers just
before her final
departure from London in
the summer of 1728. The
song commemorates not
only Faustina but also
her constant companion
and reputed lover, the
violinist Mauro
d’Alay, who is
likely to have been the
original player of the
obbligato violin part
with which the vocal part
interweaves. Greene took
the text from an Italian
translation of A Letter
from Italy, a famous poem
by Joseph Addison
extolling liberty, which
was at the time seen as a
distinguishing
characteristic of
England.

Gree
ne’s seven chamber
arias – today, we
would call them
‘concert
arias’ –
include a set of six that
appears to have been
custom-written for
Faustina Bordoni, the
great Venetian diva,
during her visits to
London in 1726–28,
since (among other
things) they all showcase
her
‘trademark’
note: the E in the top
space of the treble clef
that particularly
thrilled opera-goers. The
obbligato violin part for
all of them was probably
written for the violinist
and composer Mauro
D’Alay, her
constant companion and
reputed lover. All six
works are substantial and
full of character and
expression as well as
melodiousness and
contrapuntal finesse.
They show a composer at
the peak of his
inspiration and
ambition.
