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.

This ode is so well composed - as if it was written by Persl. Beautiful voices, thank you "E.V ". Jeremiah Clarke (1674 –1707) was one of the pupils of John Blow. Best known for his Trumpet Voluntary, a popular piece often played at wedding ceremonies or commencement ceremonies.

Beautiful. So sad to think that this wonderfully talented composer took his own life due to being so infatuated, class wars & a complicated love affair. I also think it's ironic that his version of the Trumpet Voluntary Overture is one of the most played pieces at weddings & was the most popular choice at most weddings I sang for as a chorister when I was younger. So sad he never got to have the wedding he so longed for.
