Yo, what meaneth this march of which you speaketh?

Confusion

There seems to be confusion about the two so-called Trumpet pieces by Clarke. The Trumpet Tune in D, formerly ascribed to Purcell, is identical with the Second Act-Tune of The Island Princess, but not with the Prince of Denmark's March. The latter is also called Trumpet Voluntary and was misattributed to Purcell as well. Both are described and identified in Cudworth's article. --Feijoo (talk) 11:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what does it sound like?

It would help in articles like this if somebody could either attach a recording of the tune or display part of the score. After reading the article through, I still don't know which tune this is. CharlesTheBold (talk) 01:44, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

   That statement of the question omits an important point. I'm pretty sure i've heard it done with a live trumpet for a church wedding, but "trumpet voluntary" entails being played in church on the "trumpet" notes of the organ. Which did Clarke write it for, and did Purcell change the instrumentation?

Queen's Clock

It is likely the tune which hourly accompanies appearance of the four royal heralds on this clock in the Sydney's Queen Victoria Building is not Clarke's famous Trumpet Voluntary, so long attributed to Purcell. This article says it was from Queen Victoria's coronation music, which may be something different altogether. Doug butler (talk) 08:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brother-in-law

Prince George's brother-in-law, could be his sister's husband. Or his wife's brother. But his wife's sister's husband would not actually be his brother-in-law.``Lathamibird (talk) 08:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
