Trumpet Tune for Brass Trio
Trumpet Tune
Jeremiah Clarke (ca.1674-1707)
Brass Trio
Arranged by Joseph Patrick Anthony
The famous Trumpet Tune in D was thought for many years to be composed by Henry Purcell, but we now know it was probably written by Jeremiah Clarke, an English baroque composer and organist also known for his equally-famous Trumpet Voluntary. Wikipedia tells us that Trumpet Tune "was taken from the semi-opera The Island Princess, which was a joint musical production of Clarke and Daniel Purcell (Henry Purcell's younger brother) - probably leading to the confusion." It makes great music for many different occasions.
This arrangement is suitable for junior or senior high school-level players and above.
