Life On The Ocean Wave - H.M. Royal Marines Band

Composed by Henry Russell
Arranged by Sam Townsend

This British March has been made famous around the world due to its use by H.M. Royal Marines Band. In 1882, the Deputy Adjutant General Royal Marines requested that the Bandmaster of each Royal Marine Division (Portsmouth, Plymouth, Chatham) submit an arrangement for a new regimental March for the corps. The Bandmaster of the Chatham Division, submitted an arrangement of A Life on the Ocean Wave which was authorised for use as the regimental quick March of the Corps of Royal Marines in 1882.
Now for the first time, this March has been made available for Brass Band and is a perfect concert item to use in any concert.
