The Bride of the Waves is one of the many cornet solos written and recorded by the great Herbert L. Clarke. Anyone who’s every picked up a trumpet has, knowingly or unknowingly, almost definitely been exposed to Clarke’s etudes, exercises and legendary solos.

This is an arrangement of one of Clarke’s best tunes for trumpet and full band. As a Polka Brilliante, the music is virtuosic and exciting, requiring flexibility and agility all over the horn.
