Last year, my long time brass partner Jill Graybill and I started recording the 100 + Christmas brass duo arrangements I’ve written. We’ve been calling ourselves The Holiday Horns and playing the arrangements on gigs for more than 2 decades. Over the years, people would sometimes suggest to me that I write some patriotic duets as well. I’m not an especially patriotic guy, so the thought didn’t really appeal to me that much. But- since we were already in the studio once per month to record the Christmas music, it seemed like a good time for me to finally get the patriotic stuff ready and recorded as well.

So, just in time for the Fourth of July weekend- here’s our latest Holiday Horns offering. It’s a collection of short patriotic songs, playable by almost any combination of two brass instruments. (The recording is Jill on French horn and me on flugelhorn). We released a previous batch of patriotic music back near President’s Day of this year, and have a third and final installment coming out this fall around Veteran’s Day.

I’m still working on getting these to a publisher and available to purchase as sheet music, but in the meantime- I hope you enjoy the simple combo of Jill and I.

Happy Fourth!
