Jeremiah Clarke - Trumpet Tune in D



Today's Classical Corner... Clarke!

A popular composer/organist around the dawn of the 18th Cent. This is one of his (if not, The) best-known compostions, wrongly credited as "Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary. "Let's face it, either way it could easily replace the existing Champions' League theme, but do give enormous credit where credit is due! Clarke has been played at more nuptials in the English-speaking world than anyone but Wagner or Mendelssohn. Amazing.
