The famous Trumpet Tune in D is incorrectly attributed to Henry Purcell but, rather like the ‘Albinoni’ Adagio, it seems to have stuck with a wrong name. So from where does this melody really come from then? It was taken from the semi-opera “The Island Princess”, which was a joint musical  of Clarke and Daniel Purcell. Daniel was Purcell’s younger brother, supposedly leading to the confusion.

However you wish to programme it, it is an effective number for string quartet, or even for string orchestra (the Double Bass plays the cello part). A score is not necessary – the Violin I has the obvious melody!

The tempo indication is – Maestoso
