Jeremiah Clarke

Baroque English Composer and Organist

Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1674 – 1 December 1707) was an English baroque composer and organist, best known for his Trumpet Voluntary, a popular piece often played at wedding ceremonies. Clarke was a pupil of John Blow at St Paul's Cathedral and later became the organist at the Chapel Royal. He wrote music for keyboard and voice, as well as some stage works, including an opera. His career was relatively short, as he died by his own hand at a young age. Clarke's music, which includes sacred and secular works, has been performed and recorded by various artists over the years, contributing to the Baroque repertoire. While specific albums such as "Basilika Birnau • Duette Für Orgel," "Concertgebouw Lollipops," or "Orchestral Works" are not directly attributed to him in historical records, modern performances of his compositions may appear on various compilations or themed albums produced by artists who appreciate his work.
