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 reminds me of that moment when you are sitting in church on a sunday morning when the sunlight comes streaming through the stained glass windows, all honey golden and bright, flooding that part of the sanctuary closest to the windows to produce a riot of colours. My mind drifts off thinking about life, the universe, and everything else inbetween. If I could chose grandiose music to encapsulate my seemingly diaphanous frame of mind, I would always choose this song.

I wonder if any of the organists at one of the churches in Salt Lake City can play this tune but they would to be accompanied by someone on an English Horn.

this brings tears to my eyes and it makes me smile. i walked down the aisle to this song with my beloved father almost 18 years. My dad has passed on, but my husband and I are still going strong, by the grace of God.

Known as "Prins Jørgens March" in Denmark. This masterpiece became the signature tune for the BBC-broadcasts from London, to German-occupied Denmark during WWII, and became well known and loved. It still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Trumpet and organ - is there any more magnificent combination of instruments? Truly music divine.
