About Seasonal
Few sounds carry a July afternoon quite like a brass band stepping down Main Street, the snap of a snare drum leading the way. The great patriotic songs — from "The Star-Spangled Banner" to "Stars and Stripes Forever" — were written to be felt as much as heard, swelling in the chest like a deep breath of warm summer air. Whether belted by a full chorus on a courthouse lawn or hummed quietly as the fireworks climb and burst, these melodies have a way of pulling everyone to their feet.
