Stuart Maconie introduces a personal selection of music inspired by the idea of the fanfare, from Alessandro Scarlatti to Aaron Copland.

Stuart Maconie heralds in the New Year with a personal selection of music inspired by the idea of the fanfare, from Alessandro Scarlatti to Aaron Copland.

A fanfare is described as something musically ostentatious; or a short flourish for brass instruments; or a piece of music used to herald an event. With this in mind Stuart Maconie looks at how this has prompted composers to produce a range of engaging and varied music.
