Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

The trumpet tunes and voluntaries were written not for the brass instrument, the trumpet, but for the "trumpet” set of pipes on the organ. These brassy reed pipes were used for joyful, rhythmic tunes. Purcell, considered to be one of the greatest of all English composers, was himself an organist at Westminster Abbey in London.
