Biography
Jeremiah Clarke was an English Baroque composer and organist born around 1674 in London. He received musical training as a pupil of John Blow at St Paul's Cathedral and became a chorister at the Chapel Royal in 1685. Clarke served as an organist at Winchester College between 1692 and 1695 before holding the same position at St Paul's Cathedral from 1699 to 1707. He shared the post of organist and âGentleman extraordinaryâ at the Chapel Royal with the composer William Croft. Clarke is best known for the keyboard piece âPrince of Denmark's Marchâ (c. 1700), commonly referred to as the âTrumpet Voluntaryâ, which is frequently performed at wedding ceremonies. The work was incorrectly attributed to Henry Purcell until the 1940s. His compositions also include the âTrumpet Tune in Dâ (1699), the Ode on the Death of Henry Purcell, and the hymn tune Uffingham. Clarke died on December 1, 1707.
