"Relique" CD released August 1, 2011
It's HEEEEERE!
"Relique" was officially released August 1, 2011. A limited number of free CDs are available - 1st come, 1st served. When they're gone, they're gone (you can always listen to/download MP3s from our website for free.)
Not sure if anyone could care less, but we're happy and proud of what we've recorded. It keeps Robert off the street.

WHAT? ANOTHER new CD project?
Are we CRAZY? Jeff thought he was going to get some rest and Brad doesn't even KNOW about this yet! So what is next for The Brethren Brass? Well, Robert has nearly a dozen nice arrangements left over from the past few projects. So why NOT have a collection of these "leftovers?" Everyone loves another slice of cherry pie (behind the carton of milk in the fridge.) And who doesn't enjoy a turkey sandwich DAYS after Thanksgiving? Now that we've won you over on the idea, here's where the project name came from:
Got that? Good! Here's more info:

Mmmm, good! So enjoy some tasty leftovers from The Brethren Brass. Coming later this Summer...
The Latin word levare, meaning to lift up, became the Latin relevare, meaning to lift up again. The Latin relevare then became the French word relief, meaning both leftovers (food you lift up again from the table) and assistance (you often have to lift up someone who needs assistance.) The French relief - with both of these senses - was borrowed by the English, but, as mentioned, the leftovers sense, was lost in the late 16th century. The word relic has a slightly more complex history. It too derives ultimately from an Indo-European word, one pronounced something like leikw and meaning to leave. This Indo-European word became the Latin verb relinquere which then became the Latin noun reliquum, meaning something left behind, and it was this word that became the French relique. The English adopted this French word as relic and first used it to refer to legendary chunks of Christian history such as the bones of St. George; the word then acquired (in the late 16th century) its sense of leftovers (or food left behind at the table.) Amazingly, the word eleven derives in part from the same Indo-European source as relic: eleven literally means one left over, this being a shortened way of saying ten and one left over. See also relevé.
