Description

By: Jeremiah Clarke arr Simon Wright

Scored for 6 trumpets • bass trumpet/trombone • timpani
Purcell got posterity’s credit for all the trumpet tunes he didn’t write and Jeremiah Clarke, England’s greatest trumpet–tunesmith, was relegated to obscurity. This publication, containing a realisation of a rare piece of English slide-trumpet writing also has an informative forward by the pre-eminent Purcell scholar, Curtis Price, which tells the story.
