Prince of Denmark's March

Was the Prince of Denmark's March (also called Trumpet Voluntary) written by Henry Purcell or Jeremiah Clarke? I've seen it attributed to each of them, but I doubt they both wrote it, although Leibniz and Newton independently developed calculus, so you never know!

Clarke.

I think (?) it was origianlly credited to Henry Purcell due to his prominence as an 18th century composer, but later was recognized as a piece of music written by Jeremiah Clarke.

The Trumpet Voluntary, also known as the Prince of Denmark's March, was actually composed by Clarke although it is often attributed to Purcell.

Just to add to the confusion, I have two editions of this piece, both for trumpet and organ, one called "The Prince of Denmark's March" by Jeremiah Clarke the other called "Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary" by Frank Clark.

I'm pretty sure the original is by Jeremiah Clarke, but was incorrectly attributed to Henry Purcell. I have no idea who Frank Clark is

Jeremiah Clark (1673-1707)

The problem is you just can't call a piece the "Trumpet Voluntary". There are many, many composers who were involved in ceremonial music that composed a trumpet voluntary, ex. Jeremiah Clark, John Stanley, Maurice Greene, Henry Purcell........etc. FWIW

It was written by Jeremiah Clarke, as a part of a collection of harpsichord, not Trumpet pieces, it was jsut written in the trumpet style as the open intervals of a trumpet were populr to put in literature for any instrument at the time. It was written for harpsichord, isn't that weird.
