5.0 out of 5 stars Great Patriotic CD, February 21, 2004

By 

band guy (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Anthems (Audio CD)

This is a great CD if you ever need or want to have patriotic music. American music played by an American brass band. This group sounds terrific. For those of you unfamiliar with brass band, it is comprised of 25 brass players and 2 or 3 percussionists. You get a rich, full sonority and these guys play GREAT! This CD is HIGHLY recommended to all brass players who want to hear tone quality, timbre, intonation, and more. Band directors would be wise to use this as a model for their students for everything from pitch to phrasing. Everybody else would be wise to pick it up if you like Americana. I know people who use this for their commute because it is upbeat and uplifting. Excellent CD!!!! You may also want to check out their second CD entitled "Christmas Time Is Here". Also highly recommended.

I am impressed with the quality of the Gramercy Brass Ensemble's performance of these traditional American Patriot pieces.

Beautiful sound, outstanding musicianship, classic yet spirited arrangements, and wide variety from national anthems to branch-specific armed forces hymns.

I would recommend this recording to anyone looking to hear American Patriotic music at its best. A very nice CD.
