PURCELL-CLARKE – Trumpet Tune (from ‘The Island Princess’) – STRING QUARTET

Other Identification:
This famous ‘Trumpet Tune’ is incorrectly attributed to Henry Purcell – however, rather like the ‘Albinoni’ Adagio that is really by Giazotti, it seems to have stuck with a wrong name. So then, from where does this melody really come from then? It was, in fact, taken from the semi-opera “The Island Princess”, which was a joint musical of Clarke and Daniel Purcell. Daniel was Purcell’s younger brother, which is why it supposedly lead to the confusion!
