Clarke, Jeremiah

Clarke, Jeremiah, an English composer of church music, was educated under Dr. Blow, of the Chapel Royal, appointed organist of St. Paul's Cathedral in 1693, and in 1704 one of the organists in the king's chapel. His compositions are few, on account of his untimely death in July, 1707. See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.
