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.

I walked down the aisle to this piece 47 years ago. I loved it then,and I love it now!

When I stood behind the closed church doors waiting for the Wedding March to play my aunt played this on the pipe organ of our church. Almost 40 years ago.

My wedding processional, played on an organ similar to this one, my eyes fixed on my wonderful, handsome groom as I walked down the aisle toward him. One of the happiest days of my life!

Our processonal as well, in 1973 when it was a very popular wedding march. Aeolian Skinner organ, not as grand as the one here, but very good. We were proverbial starving grad students at UCLA, but our friends assembled a very competent choir, and another friend, a music professor, did the honors on the organ. Low-budget, but first class. (Reception was cake and punch in the church basement, but back the not everyone expected a lavish reception. Our sons gave us the reception dinner we never had for our 50th wedding anniversary -- the elder one has a great kitchen, and the younger one is a superb chef.)

@@johne7345 It must have been a lovely ceremony! How nice that your sons gave you both such a wonderful reception/50th anniversary gala, & congratulations! Thanks for your reply!

I get chills every time I hear this beautiful music on a grand pipe organ!!
@annenbertelinlindgren8742
Right? It's so powerful and lovely.
@johne7345
Rightly called "the king of instruments." One of the big attractions of our current church is its pipe organ and our superbly competent organist.

I walked down the aisle to this triumphant march 46 years ago. Love it as much now as then!
@mayfleur36
I too, walked up the aisle at the church I was married in, to this beautiful piece to marry my husband.
