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 performance and the attending comments prove my point. Sure, furiously flying fingers are impressive but music is supposed to evoke feeling, emotion, and passion. This kind of expressiveness and tonal control is equally high skill playing that never quite gets its due credit for what is required.

I call expressive musical curiosity my own erroneous conclusions that only I will appreciate, and others will rightly judge as wrong.

I'm no expert pianist but as I am currently studying this piece, i could say that this piece is equally, if not more challenging than the piano pieces I've studied with arpeggios (eg. Chopin's Three Nocturnes). Playing TWO melodies on ONE hand is HARD!

So beautiful. This song moves me since my childhood and was played at my wedding. Bravo! So lovely.

I had it played at my wedding too! ❤️

Yes, enchanting. This was played at my sister Angela's wedding when I was eight, and it made such an impression that I chose it for my mother's funeral many years later. Now, have just been to see the new Sam Mendes film of Little Women, full of beautiful music, but when Beth plays it on the piano I was in tears!
Michael Tsung
Congratulations for an immaculate choice of wedding music.
