Program Notes

The work Clarke is best known for today is the Trumpet Voluntary. From c. 1878 until the 1940s the work was attributed to Henry Purcell, and was published as Trumpet Voluntary by Henry Purcell in William Spark's Short Pieces for the Organ, Book VII, No. 1 (London, Ashdown and Parry). This version came to the attention of Sir Henry J. Wood, who made two orchestral transcriptions of it, both of which were recorded. The recordings further cemented the erroneous notion that the original piece was by Henry Purcell. Clarke's piece is a popular choice for wedding music, and has been used in royal weddings.
