De Haske Music Prince of Denmark's March (Trumpet Voluntary) Concert Band Level 1.5 Arranged by Philip Sparke

Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1674-1707) belongs to a generation of English composers following that of Henry Purcell. Not much is known about his early life, but by 1685 he was a chorister of the Chapel Royal, a group of liturgical musicians attached to the court. He held the post of organist at Winchester College from 1692 but later returned to London as Master of the Choristers at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Prince of Denmark's March is perhaps his best-known work and was originally written for harpsichord, although Clarke later included it in a collection of pieces for wind instruments.
