"Brandywine Quickstep" is an American march in 2/4 time and D Major. The parts are played AABBCC. The melody first appears in R. Taylor's Martial Music of Camp Dupont, published by G.E. Blake in Philadelphia c. 1816 (he had a store on South 4th St.). It was the first published collection of American military music (according to Russell Sanjek, American Popular Music and its Business), financed by members of the Philadelphia militia. A quick march is performed at 120 beats/minute in the US and Canada. In Britain, various regiments use tempos between 116 and 140 brats per minute. Brandywine was the site of a Revolutionary War battle in Brandywine, Pennsylvania, south of Philadelphia, named for a creek in Chester County. It was printed in Sweet's Fifer's Delight (1964).
