A '''fanfare''' is a short instrumental flourish, usually of trumpets, either alone or with other brass instruments and often with percussion. (An introductory drum roll is almost a cliché). Historically it has been used as an introduction to the entrance of, or an announcement by royalty or another dignitary and dates back to before musical notation.
