The Herbert L Clarke Collection

The Herbert L Clarke Collection

Herbert Lincoln Clarke is truly an icon in American music, considered by many to be the best and most famous cornet player of all time. His legacy of superior musicianship and the promulgation of the cornet as a means of musical expression is still evident today. His performance as a soloist for the famed Sousa and Gilmore bands as well as his recordings, methods, and solo pieces are a lasting reminder of his musical genius. This collection is a tribute to the large contribution that Clarke made to the solo literature for cornet/trumpet.
