Jeremiah Clarke : Trumpet Voluntary/Prince of Denmark´s March

Jeremiah Clarke’s trumpet march *The Prince of Denmark’s March* is structured in such a way that the distinctive fanfare motifs are repeated in sequence, creating an impression of solemn stability. It is also noteworthy that the clear periodicity and diatonic harmony are less aimed at contrapuntal elaboration and more at deliberately creating a representative, easily comprehensible sonic effect that is particularly suited for ceremonial occasions.

Arrangement for a single-manual instrument: For a long time, this piece was mistakenly attributed to Henry Purcell.
