XRS: My First Simple Horn Arrangement Made the Cut!

Ever had to tackle a notion with no idea where to begin? That was me when Greg Donnelly’s new song for Long Time Citizen saw me trying to arrange horns! I mean… what did I know about arranging horns?

As soon as I heard the chorus, I could hear a full brass section in my head, but there was one small problem: I’d never arranged horns before.

I could have just not mentioned it and moved on, but instead, I decided to dive in and treat it as a new challenge. It was a life lesson in facing something completely new and seemingly scary. Join me as I share my journey in this video, where something totally new became an exciting and fun passion project.

And here is the completed song, produced by Dirk Hugo, Greg Donnelly and me! Nice, eh?
