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.

Fanfares were particularly popular during the Renaissance and Baroque eras and have been a part of coronations for centuries.
