Thought to have been born in London in 1674, Clarke was a pupil of John Blow at St Paul's Cathedral. He later became organist at the Chapel Royal. "A violent and hopeless passion for a very beautiful lady of a rank superior to his own" caused him to commit suicide by shooting himself. He was succeeded in his post by William Croft.
Clarke is now best remembered for the popular keyboard piece attributed to him, the "Prince of Denmark's March", commonly called the Trumpet Voluntary and attributed for a long time to Henry Purcell. The piece is actually taken from the semi-opera The Island Princess, a joint musical production of Clarke and Daniel Purcell (Henry Purcell's younger brother), which is probably the reason for the confusion.

You must have a quite solid embouchure to be changing pitches and trilling without valves or holes! For that I applaud you! Well done!
Luis Martinez
Without dropping it too😂

I think he’s just lip syncing. Lol

@Spanky Handerson "Lip syncing" could be just a very literal definition of how this particular instrument is played...

SavageArfad, valves do more than release air pressure. They change the length of the tube from the mouthpiece to the bell, and so they change all the pitches in the harmonic series that the tube produces. This way, you get a complete choice of notes so you can play chromatic music in any key.

Without valves, you can only play C, G, etc... Valves are indeed used to get inbetween these musical notes.
