The Meeting of the Waters, Ralph E. Pearce. Cornet solo with Brass Band

The Meeting of the Waters

The Meeting of the Waters is a traditional Irish toasting song, which tells of the meeting of the two drinks as the toast is carried out. Ralph E. Pearce has skilfully adapted this beautiful and somewhat sentimental melody as a cornet solo. It is not a direct arrangement of the song, but rather a rhapsody that uses the tune as a basis for the basis of the work.  After an introduction, the melody is presented twice, linked by a ruminative central section.

This solo is also available with piano accompaniment as part of the Roger Webster Solo Series.
