Clarke: Mr. Shore's Trumpett Tune | David Blackadder & Academy of Ancient Music
Mr. Shore's Trumpett Tune, by Jeremiah Clarke (1674–1707), performed live by David Blackadder and Academy of Ancient Music at Milton Court Concert Hall, London, 24 October 2019.
It is a little ironic that the person responsible for composing the best-known piece for baroque trumpet is far from a household name. A successor to Purcell at London’s Chapel Royal and, later, organist at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Jeremiah Clarke (1674-1707) is now rightfully credited as the composer of the popular wedding voluntary The Prince of Denmark’s March – better known as the Trumpet Voluntary – but for many years the work (along with several others) was wrongly attributed to Purcell.
Among a handful of other pieces for trumpet in his output is the brisk voluntary Mr. Shore’s Trumpett Tune, composed for the leading English trumpet virtuoso of the day, John Shore. We know that both Purcell and Handel wrote some of their most demanding trumpets parts with Shore in mind and, although Clarke’s voluntary is somewhat modest by comparison, its high tessitura and skillful ornamentation give us a glimpse into Shore’s technical proficiency.
