Trumpet Fanfare Mp3 Free Download REPACK

I'm currently composing a march for an orchestra based off of a picture of the Battle of Iwo Jima and I'm kind of stuck at the trumpet fanfare that comes after the foreboding intensity of the previous brass chorale. There are 2 that are coming to mind and are in the key of Bb(which while not the key of the march as a whole, is the key of the trumpet fanfare) and I'm not sure I want to use either of them. The 2 that are coming to mind are the Star Wars theme and the US National Anthem. I thought maybe I could use just the first phrase of the melody of the US National Anthem and build the rest of the fanfare differently but even that is turning out too familiar, too predictable. So now I have no idea what to do. Do I just go ahead and use the melody of the first phrase of the US National Anthem overtly and just harmonize it differently, despite the fact that it will probably be super familiar to the majority of listeners(maybe with a textural creschendo and diminuendo within the phrase)? Do I start with the arpeggio and then write a completely different melody that is still in Bb major and still emphasizes long note values? Here is what I have so far of the piece:

The Star Wars theme, I honestly don't know, maybe because it was the first theme to come to mind as a trumpet fanfare in Bb major? As for the US National Anthem, well the piece is based off of a picture of the Battle of Iwo Jima and the US did win that battle, plus the competition I am writing the piece for being in July and even having a due date of July 31st means a higher amount of exposure to the US National Anthem than during the rest of the year.

I'm not being all that strict on the natural trumpet sound because I don't really expect anybody in the orchestra to be playing a natural trumpet, but if it is possible and sounds good on a natural trumpet, then that's nice.

A fanfare trumpet, also called a herald trumpet, is a brass instrument similar to but longer than a trumpet, capable of playing specially composed fanfares. Its extra length can also accommodate a small ceremonial banner that can be mounted on it.

Fanfare trumpet-like instruments existed in ancient Rome (like the Roman tuba), while Iran, Korea and China sport similar traditional instruments (karnay, nafir, nabal and laba in the latter three).

Beginning in the late Middle Ages, straight herald trumpets (known as the buisine) and later coiled valve-less natural trumpets, clarions and drums (usually snares and tenors) would sound fanfares to mark important holidays or ceremonial events. These instruments would also serve as timekeepers in various towns and cities and announce various special events. Incorporated into mounted bands since the 12th century, timpani and trumpets or bugles were, from the middle of the 15th century, employed to motivate mounted troops in battle as well as on parades. Many of these early trumpets are direct ancestors to the present day fanfare instruments. The chromatic natural trumpet, used since the 17th century, is the oldest variant type of fanfare trumpet still used today, which was first used in the cavalry branches of European armies and later on as part of the field and horse artillery.

The prakhom band of the Bureau of the Royal Household of Thailand sports such old style trumpets, introduced into the country in the early years of the Bangkok (Rattanakosin) period replacing lost originals. These trumpets are part of the state royal regalia, and are played during important royal events. A similar but plain instrument, the nafiri, is used as part of the regalia of Malaysia because it is an integral part of the nobat or royal orchestra which performs in important royal events in the states of Kedah, Perak, Terrenganu and Selangor and when the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from those states is ceremonially installed.

Modern fanfare trumpets have an elongated bell extending far in front of the player, allowing a standard length of tubing from which a flag or banner may be hung; the instrument is mostly used for ceremonial events such as parades.

This is the melody fanfare trumpet which is the same pitch as a normal Bb trumpet. Usually a fanfare team has two tenor trumpets, together with four melody trumpets. This instrument plays well with excellent intonation and produces real trumpet tones. It has hooks from which a banner/drape can be hung. A team of these being played is impressive with a dramatic tone. A discount is available if bought in a set of four.

This tenor fanfare trumpet has the same pitch as the baritone, or tenor trombone - and it is played with small shank trombone mouthpiece. It is usually part of a fanfare team which has two tenor trumpets and with four melody trumpets. The tenor fanfare trumpet will play euphonium, baritone or trombone parts. This instrument plays well with excellent intonation and produces real trumpet tones. It has hooks from which banner/drape can be hung. A team of these being played is impressive with dramatic tone. A discount is available for a set of trumpets.

It is easy to imagine the sense of awe, power, and potential felt by the first person who unwittingly summoned sound from a conch by blowing into its broken-off tip. This scenario is central to William Golding's classic coming-of-age novel, The Lord of the Flies: a group of schoolboys have just survived a plane crash that has stranded them on a deserted tropical island, where they are left to their own devices to survive. Something emerging from the sand captures the character Piggy's eye. He exclaims to his friend Ralph: "It's a shell! I seen one like that before. On someone's back wall. A conch he called it. He used to blow it and then his mum would come. It's ever so valuable." The boys quickly grasp the practical and symbolic power of the conch trumpet: "We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They'll come when they hear us . . . Him with the shell . . . Let him be chief with the trumpet-thing."

The sound of the conch gave its player a powerful, superhuman voice and the ability to communicate. Humble but majestic, at once both practical and mystical, the trumpet formed by the conch's elegantly spiraled helix became a medium for signaling, conveying power, spiritual practice, and music making. This status grants it pride of place in the center of The Met's Fanfare gallery, which chronicles the use and design of brass instruments across time and place.

The geographic and chronological span of conch playing is immense. Among the earliest surviving conch trumpets are those that were used in the Mediterranean region, some of which date to the Neolithic period, between 6000 B.C. and 3000 B.C. The instrument, made from a variety of native species, was known across Europe, in India, China, Japan, Tibet, Oceania, and the Americas, but seems to have been largely absent in northern Africa. It is noteworthy evidence of their importance and distribution through trade that conches were also used in inland areas far from the sea. The conch continues to be played in many of these places today, such as the Melanesian example from the late nineteenth century below.

These powerful and intriguing intersections of sound, science, spirituality, and the natural world continue to be expressed in the enduring popularity of conch trumpets.

There are four sizes of fanfare trumpet in common use today. In a team of seven players, the British army uses four B-flat melody trumpets, two B-flat tenor fanfares (similar to tenor trombones) and a bass fanfare pitched in B-flat/F. The bands of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Marines use the addition of a soprano fanfare to give a brighter sound. Whatever their musical length, the physical length from mouthpiece rim to bell end is exactly the same for each instrument, as is the position of the banners, giving perfect symmetry when played together. Having several teams of players and sets of instruments, the sight and sound of these instruments is quite spectacular, whether on the parade ground or at a Royal celebration.

Fanfare trumpet-like instruments also existed in Iran (the karnay), Korea (the nabal) and China (the laba). In Iran, the karnay is considered a national instrument, and is also used in Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

In the Middle Ages, natural trumpets would sound fanfares to mark important holidays or ceremonial events. they would also act as timekeepers in various towns, and announce special events. Fanfare trumpets were incorporated into mounted bands in the 12th century, which were tasked with motivating mounted troops in battle, as well as on parade. The natural chromatic is the oldest type of fanfare trumpet still used today. This instrument was first used in the cavalry branches of the European military in the 17th century. 006ab0faaa
