The Prince of Denmark's March (Template:Lang-da), commonly called the Trumpet Voluntary, is a musical composition (a march) written circa. 1700, by English baroque composer Jeremiah Clarke (who was the first organist of the then newly rebuilt St Paul's Cathedral).
Composition
For many years the piece was attributed incorrectly to Clarke's elder and more widely known contemporary Henry Purcell. The misattribution emanated from an arrangement for organ published in the 1870s by Dr. William Spark (the town organist of Leeds, England). The arrangement was later adapted by Sir Henry Wood in his well-known arrangement for trumpet, string orchestra, and organ.
The oldest source is a collection of keyboard pieces published in 1700. A contemporary version for wind instruments also survives. According to some sources, the march was written in honour of Prince George of Denmark, husband of Queen Anne of Great Britain.
Usage
The march is popular as wedding music, and was played during the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles at St Paul's Cathedral in 1981.
The march was broadcast often by the BBC during World War II, especially when programming was directed to occupied Denmark.
A brief portion of the tune can be heard at the end of the song "Tubthumping" by British anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba and in the fade-out of The Beatles' song "It's All Too Much". It was one of the seventeen classical pieces used in creating the lead track of the 1981 Hooked on Classics project. It was used as the melodic counterpoint to the intro and verses of Sting's hit "
Peter Sellers parodied the tune in his sketch "Trumpet Volunteer".
The piece is used on The Colbert Report as the theme for the recurring segments Colbert Platinum (on trumpet) and Colbert Aluminum (on kazoo).
The march is used as the background music during the hourly performance of the Royal Clock in the Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, Australia.
The song was sampled for the Greatest Thing Ever segment from the Cartoon Network show Mad.
