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.

Cómo con una vida tan breve y trágica se puede componer música tan bella? Shubert será por siempre uno de los GRANDES
sad eat the whip
I played this on clarinet in high school 20 years ago and I have to come back and listen to it a couple times a year, my face is always covered in tears by the end. I can't believe music has that effect on the brain
Juan Manuel Lleras
This beautiful overture is full of magnificent themes, the mark of the great composer that Schubert was. One of my favorite pieces of music.
Daniel Pincus
If you love melodies, then you must love his Ninth Symphony.
Bruno
I played this last summer, I might never have been so excited! There's something about it that gives me so much energy.
Gérard Begni
A beautiful overture by Schubert. The orchestra is used in a wise manner.

una de las Oberturas más interesantes y placenteras de escuchar por sus contrastes melódicos y armónicos es "Rosamunda", de Franz Schubert; hacía mucho tiempo no la escuchaba, y ahora que la encuentro en You Tube me deleito escuchándola con la misma emoción que yo experimenté la primera vez que la escuché, hace algo más de cuarenta años atrás. Mi padre era un oyente juicioso y constante de música clásica y esta obertura era una de las que más lo veía escuchando todas las veces que yo regresaba de mi colegio.

Una bella obertura! Muy buen director!

This piece brings out happy feelings to your heart and soul .
