Browse piano sheets by Jeremiah Clarke on Zen Virtual Piano. Jeremiah Clarke was born about 1674 in London and became an English organist and composer, mainly of religious music. On leaving the chapel he was for a short time organist of Winchester College. A short stay at one post shows an early career that moved between roles. In 1693 Blow resigned to him the posts of almoner and master of the choristers at St. Paul’s, and on 6 June 1699 he was admitted to his year of probation as vicar choral, though he was not fully admitted until 3 October 1705. On 25 May 1704 he and another composer were sworn jointly into an organist’s place left vacant by the death of Francis Pigott. Posts as almoner, vicar choral and organist can be read as showing how varied the work attached to a church could be. He was the original composer of Dryden’s ode Alexander’s Feast, produced at Stationers’ Hall on 22 November 1697. Dryden, Settle and Motteux appear beside his name, which ties his music to the words of other writers. He wrote stage music including Settle’s The World in the Moon (1697, in collaboration with Daniel Purcell) and Motteux’s The Island Princess (1699, in collaboration with Daniel Purcell and Richard Leveridge). He also composed many anthems, solo songs and incidental music for plays. His Trumpet Voluntary was once attributed to Henry Purcell, and from about 1878 until the 1940s the work was published as the Trumpet Voluntary by Henry Purcell, though it was originally either a harpsichord piece or a work for wind ensemble. His Trumpet Minuet in D major, T 460, was originally written for the harpsichord. A Trumpet Minuet written for the harpsichord and a Trumpet Voluntary once attributed to Purcell can be read as showing that one word can name two different works. Burney said of him that “he was all tenderness,” and he died in London on 1 December 1707. A single line of praise from Burney is a short epitaph for a composer of anthems and solo songs.
