About Fourth of July production music
One night of fireworks, a full month of campaigns.
The Fourth of July compresses a lot into one date. Retailers open their summer sale campaigns in mid June, local stations build toward a parade and fireworks broadcast, and by the night of the 4th everything is meant to land at once. GMP Music licenses production music across that build, from a marching brass and fife-and-drum feel to a big celebratory orchestral finale, produced and recorded by accomplished composers in recording studios specifically for GMP Music.
Producers use it as instrumental Independence Day music for fireworks show broadcasts and city celebration promos, backyard barbecue and summer holiday retail spots, parade coverage and local TV specials, brand summer kickoff social content, and community event video. Nearly all of our titles include a theme version with full instrumentation, alternate versions with less instrumentation, edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, 15, and stingers, and versions separated by sections or parts.
Licensing is clean and simple. The standard license covers almost everything, so the same track can run across broadcast, streaming, social, and event video. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. Every license includes master and publishing rights for the GMP-owned catalog, with clear documentation and chain of title for your production.
Whether the project needs a stately parade march or a full-scale fireworks finale, we are eager to assist you in your music search, to find just the right track that will represent your brand and vision for your media project.
