Hearken Unto Me Ye Holy Children (Maurice Greene)
"Hearken Unto Me, Ye Holy Children" is an anthem composed by Maurice Greene in 1728. The first performance was probably given on 1 March 1728 at the King's College Chapel, Cambridge; however there is some conjecture that the actual first performance date was 25 April 1728 (to coincide with King George II's visit).
A typical performance takes about 17 minutes.

“It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration;”

“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
