Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-027-140). Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1674-1707) belongs to the 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.
Jeremiah Clarke (vers 1674-1707) fait partie de la gĂ©nĂ©ration de compositeurs anglais succĂ©dant celle d’Henry Purcell. On sait très peu de choses sur ses dĂ©buts musicaux. En 1685, il entre en tant que choriste la chapelle royale d’Angleterre, un ensemble de musiciens liturgiques au service de la cour. partir de 1692, il est organiste Winchester College avant de retourner Londres oĂą il est nommĂ© chef des chœurs de la CathĂ©drale Saint-Paul. The Prince of Denmark’s March (“La Marche du Prince du Danemark”) est sans aucun doute la plus connue des œuvres de Clarke. ComposĂ©e l’origine pour clavecin, elle est incluse plus tard par Clarke dans unrecueil de pièces pour instruments vent.
