TEMPLE [1], THE. AKA and see "Prince of Denmark's March," "Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary." English, March (cut time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. The composition of "The Temple [1]" is generally nowadays credited to musician Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1674-1707), who was the organist at St Paul's Cathedral, and later became an organist and 'Gentleman extraordinary' at the Chapel Royal. The original title was "Prince of Denmark's March," and was composed around the year 1700. "The Temple" is still popular for weddings and commencements. The tune was, for many years, incorrectly credited to composer Henry Purcell, Clarke's elder and more widely known contemporary. The misattribution emanated from an arrangement for organ published in the 1870s by William Spark (the town organist of Leeds, England).
