CJ Seipp Music Publications was created in 1994 by Chuck and his wife Julie making available Chuck’s arrangements for brass and trumpet and organ. Here you can find a catalog of his well-known brass quintet works and popular Wedding Book.

Chuck Seipp is a professional trumpet player, music educator, arranger and publisher in the Washington, DC area. Chuck started arranging for his brass quintet, The Commonwealth Brass, and with the encouragement of friends decided to make these arrangements available.

Performing weddings for many years, Chuck realized the need for a collection that incorporated selections perfect for any ceremony or church service and felt “The Wedding Book” would be a great resource for organists and trumpet players.

Since retirement from his proud 32 year career with The United States Army Band, “Pershing’s Own“, in Washington, D.C., Chuck enjoys his love of teaching and performing. This site includes recordings, upcoming performances, teaching references, press kit info, and performance options that encompass a variety of musical scenarios as soloist, clinician, Commonwealth Brass Quintet performances, and performance opportunities with his Trumpet & Organ and Trumpet & Piano Duos.

Chuck is having the time of his life performing with his duos. He has orchestrated over 200 concerts across 26 states performing with the Seipp/Williams Trumpet & Organ Duo, the Seipp/Fickley Trumpet & Organ Duo, and the Seipp/Kasparian Trumpet & Piano Duo. Chuck’s passion is managing, promoting, and performing with these duos from recording projects to travels across the country taking performances to unprecedented entertaining and musical heights through all styles of specialized arrangements synchronized to captivating and moving videos. These very unique concerts are scheduled through 2027 and can be followed through this website, as well as the Chuck Seipp Trumpet-Organ/Piano Duos Facebook page.

Exciting news for August 2026….the release of the Seipp/Fickley Duo’s  patriotic concert recording project, “Spirit of America”. It is available via streaming services, as well as CD and USB Drives from this website.

Chuck holds an Undergraduate Music Education degree from Kansas University and both Master and Doctoral degrees in Trumpet Performance from The Catholic University of America.

“Chuck, thank you for being such a savvy inspiration. Wishing you a magical and successful artistic life!”….David Cutler, Author, The Savvy Musician.                                          Quote from David’s book, p. 210….“Trumpeter Chuck Seipp (www.cjseippmusic.com) began creating brass arrangements of classical favorites and wedding music for his own gigs, but the demand for these settings resulted in an unexpected business.”
