Fanfare – a sound of joy!
As many of you know, Monday is the “birthday” of the USA. We celebrate July 4th as the beginning of America. Often on July 4th, Americans hear “fanfares”. A fanfare is a piece of music that welcomes a king or queen, or tells the world about someone important coming --- or some important event, like the Olympics! Usually a fanfare is music with trumpet sounds. Lots of trumpets! You can hear a very nice explanation of “fanfares” on this week’s (July 2011) “Classics for Kids” (which is NOT just for kids!) at this website: http://www.classicsforkids.com/shows/thisweek.asp
