Chestnut Fanfare

This fanfare is a great tool for introducing performers to antiphonal music where the two choirs play alternating phrases, terraced entrances, and changing dynamics which all contrast with bold, full octet statements. The brief fanfare is appropriate for opening a concert, preceding an introduction or award, or adding a short novelty piece to a concert. Settings of this fanfare are available separately for Low Brass, Mixed Brass, Trumpets, or Woodwinds. Except for the trumpet version, some flexible parts are included within the specified instrument category. In addition, the four settings can be performed either alone or together in any combination.
