Music and song have had an impact throughout time and the Civil War was no exception. During the Civil War, music and musical instruments served a practical purpose. Drums were used to keep soldiers in line. Fifes were popular instruments because they could be heard over cannon noise. And bugles were used as a way to issue commands. Songs from the Civil War served many purposes. They were used to tell stories, be it a soldier's or a slave's. Certain songs were used to inspire troops, while other songs were about a soldier missing home or about people at home missing a soldier. The Civil War was a turbulent time in American history and much was lost. Fortunately, most of the music and songs survived.

Day is Done

Home of the Brave was recorded in honor of the deployed Airmen of the United States Air Force as a token of appreciation from a grateful nation. Several of the ensembles of the United States Air Force Band participated on this album, making it a well-rounded salute to the brave. The Ceremonial Brass, Max Impact, Singing Sergeants and Symphony Orchestra all collaborated on several of the pieces on this inspiring collection. Every song seeks to pay tribute to American heroes, evoking a feeling of patriotism and respect in each listener. The spirit and courage of those who inspired this album are what truly makes America the Home of the Brave.

Patriotic Music for all Occasions

American Spirit allows its listeners to be inspired, to reminisce, and to enjoy every second of the delightful music present on this patriotic album by the United States Army Ceremonial Band. Meant to capture the essence of an Army ceremony, these songs are perfect for events where a band is unavailable. The album, which features 32 different tracks, is divided into five sections. The first, 'Fanfares,' are played to open or close ceremonies performed at the White House by the world renowned U.S. Army Herald Trumpets. The 'Marches' serve the purpose of generating a sense of patriotism and are traditionally used to move soldiers to the ready line or for marching in review. The next section titled 'Country and Service' includes tracks like "This Is My Country," used for an inspection march, and "Army Blue," which can be used during a retirement ceremony. Both 'Bugle Calls' and 'Honors' fulfill most of the other requirements for ceremonial music. Now you can enjoy all these great songs at home, and with so many songs ready to go, planning your next event will be a cinch.
