The famous Trumpet Tune in D, also misattributed to Purcell, is actually taken from the semi-opera The Island Princess, a joint musical production of Clarke and Daniel Purcell (Henry Purcell's younger brother), which is probably the reason for the confusion. To add to the confusion, I have seen sheet music that says it was composed by Jeremiam Ckarke (c. 1674 1707)
