MAURICE GREENE (1696-1755): 6 Overtures in 7 Parts, Overtures to St. Cecilia and Phoebe, 10 Pieces from Lessons for the Harpsichord.

Description: Known to posterity for his large number of anthems, Greene wrote a fairly small quantity of orchestral music. The overtures date from the 1740s and show the influences of Geminiani and Handel on a composer who was a link between the English generation of Eccles and Croft and that of Boyce and Arne. David Schrader (harpsichord), Baroque Band; Garry Clarke.
