Jeremiah Clarke (1674–1707)
Trumpet Tune in D
The wedding trumpet tune long printed as Purcell's, now known to be Clarke's
No speed is printed on this score, so Clefsight plays it at half note = 87: the middle speed of the 16 pieces in 2/2 in the library whose files set one. Its length counts from that.
