Episode 5
Donald Macleod on how Maurice Greene lost the opportunity to compose for coronation of George II to a naturalised German. Plus the fortunes of the chapel musicians up to today.
It should have been the pinnacle of Maurice Greene's career, but when the new Master of the chapel children offers his composition services for the coronation of George II he finds that the king has other ideas. Donald Macleod finds out how a naturalised German muscled in on the ceremonial action and also traces the fortunes of the chapel musicians through to the present day.
