fanfare
A fanfare (or flourish) is a short musical flourish that is typically played by trumpets or other brass instruments, often accompanied by percussion , a "brief improvised introduction to an instrumental performance" . By extension, the word may also designate a short, prominent passage for brass instruments in an orchestral composition. In French usage, ''fanfare'' also may refer to a hunting signal (given either on "starting" a stag, or after the kill when the hounds are given their share of the animal), and in both France and Italy was the name given in the 19th century to a military or civilian brass band . In French, this usage continues to the present, and distinguishes the all-brass band from bands of mixed brass and woodwind, which is called ''Harmonie'' .
==Etymology==
The word has been traced to a 15th-century Spanish root, ''fanfa'' ("vaunting"). Though the word may be onomatopoeic, it is also possible that it is derived from the Arabic word ''anfár'' ("trumpets"). The word is first found in 1546 in French, and in English in 1605, but it was not until the 19th century that it acquired its present meaning of a brief ceremonial flourish for brass . Indeed, an alternative term for the fanfare is "flourish", as in the "Ruffles and Flourishes" played by military bands in the U. S. to announce the arrival of the President, a general, or other high-ranking dignitary .
