Abstract

John Stanley (1714-1786) was an English composer and organist, blind from the age of three, who was most widely known for his performance of organ voluntaries. His performances attracted musicians, including his colleague Handel, from all over London and the surrounding area. The Suite #1 of Trumpet Voluntaries is a collection including two movements from Ten Voluntaries for the Organ or Harpsichord Composed by John Stanley, volume six, published by John Johnson of London in 1752, and one movement from volume seven of the same collection, published by Johnson in 1754. The complete work includes half of Stanley's six "trumpet" voluntaries, which were actually organ voluntaries with solo trumpet stop. The first movement, in the words of the editor: " ... contains a particularly pompous and exciting trumpet theme." The second movement is a flowing adagio including a series of suspensions. This movement likely acted as a prelude to the original published collection. The final movement demands great agility of the solo trumpeter and is constructed entirely of echo effects, the organ literally repeating the preceding trumpet phrases.
