What is a "fanfare"?
A fanfare is a short, lively, and often loud musical passage typically played by brass instruments, sometimes accompanied by percussion. It is designed to announce or celebrate an event, such as a formal ceremony, arrival, or important occasion. Fanfare pieces are usually characterized by their bright, bold, and attention-grabbing sound, intended to draw attention and create a sense of excitement or grandeur.
