What fanfare would you walk into ?

Another vote for Fanfare for the Common Man here - and I would go for the Emerson Lake and Palmer version followed by their take on Copland's Hoedown.

Nan I think the song for Trump would be the Carly Simon one ‘You’re So Vain’ but what would he choose himself?
Hmmmm, perhaps the ‘I want it all, I want it now!’ One?

I was at a gathering of a group of clergy recently and there was a group there called Epiphany (classical musicians) who did 'sound portraits'. You sat in an easy chair for 15 mins or so and they improvised music that they felt summarised your soul/personality. It was singly, one of the most moving experiences of my life... and they gave out a cd of the music too. So, I would have that!

Most of these pieces aren’t fanfares (typically a short ceremonial piece for brass instruments), but just pieces of music. I only know two fanfares, Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and Britten’s Fanfare for St Edmudsbury. Both good, but I really don’t want to walk into anywhere to a fanfare of any sort.

Lighten up, Grandma70s!

A few bars of the Hallelujah Chorus would suffice for me! .

My Fanfare would be 'Majesty' preferably played by the Band of the Lifeguards.
To shuffle off this mortal coil though, I want to enter to Meredith Brooks' 'Bitch', followed by The Prodigy's 'Firestarter'!

Sugar Baby Love - Rubettes

It actually happened to me once and was Amazing Grace played by an orchestra as I had written a children's book of that name and this was at the opening night of the play.

A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procul Harum.

"Fanfare for the common man". (Though I'm a woman!)

I would have the music from Elvis concerts think it was space oddesy.

Maryhoffman27, I know your lovely book and have read it in school!

Also
Gwahoddiad and Land Of My Fathers.
I love rousing music.

Is there such a thing as - just a piece of music ?

"The Pink Panther Theme" Song by Henry Mancini.

maryhoffman37 Congratulations on your wonderful achievement! I will buy your book.

Noooooo Gabriella - Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau ?

Something grand by Queen... Barcelona or Inuendo.
Or maybe, We Are The Champions.

Definitely The Goons singing "The Ying Tong Song".

No doubt about it.

Pacobel's 'Canon'. It makes me think of a summer day.

Blinko, I'm with you, "A Whiter Shade of Pale".
Requested a (purely instrumental version) to walk down the aisle.
Unlike the Man from Del Monte, Vicar said "No"
No women clergy in C of E in those days!

Shostakovich’s Festive Overture begins with a wonderful fanfare. The rest of it is good too!

Grey Duster me too I was Glad. An anthem by the composer Parry with organ and brass and a massed choir mainly at cathedral royal events. Coronation and weddings . When ever the cathedral in my part of the world has an organ recital with choir and includes this in their performance I just have to attend. It can however leave me in tears.!

I Was Glad is lovely to sing as well. I’ve sung it for the Queen! I doubt if she noticed, as I was one of about sixty singers.
