Program Notes on Ayre in C Major by Clarke :

This Ayre in C Major by composer Jeremiah Clarke is very typical of the English Baroque style.

It has a simple A-A-B-B musical form :

Mm. 1-8 : Part A (played twice) in the main key of C Major
Mm. 9-16 : Part B (played twice) starts in the relative key of A minor, modulating back to C Major in measure 13

Please take note that the editor has included in this score suggested realizations for the ornaments, in this case shakes (the English equivalent to a trill).

Furthermore, the dynamics in this score are editorial, as Clarke himself did not provide any dynamics indication in his manuscript.
