Trumpet Tune
JEREMIAH CLARKE

Once mistakenly attributed to Henry Purcell, the Trumpet Tune makes a nice
companion to the more popular Trumpet Voluntary. Both were composed by
Jeremiah Clarke (c.1674-1707), organist at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. This
piece works well as either a processional or a recessional. When used as a
processional the tempo is typically rather stately, as heard here with organ and
trumpet. The Trumpet Tune also works very well played by the organ alone.
