Both tunes are characteristic of the style and sound of the trumpet, so were very suitable for transcription.
The trumpet compositions of Henry Purcell and Jeremiah Clarke are among the best known works by these two composers. The Purcell aria comes from the Duke Of Buckingham's Birthday Ode of 1695. It was written in honour of Queen Anne's six year old son. The Clarke cebell is an interlude from Clarke's Music on the Death of Purcell. A cebell is a fast gavotte-like English dance from the 17th century. Both of these works will have you feel like dancing as you perform them. Enjoy a few works from many centuries ago.
