This short Fanfare was written in 1977, the year of the Silver Jubilee, and was played as a preface to the National Anthem, when I was conducting a pit orchestra for a production of ’Show Boat’ at the former ’Palace Theatre’ in Plymouth, for the former Carmenians Amateur Operatic Society. Originally it was scored as a quartet, as the pit orchestra did not have a tuba. The snare drum and cymbal parts were played in the original pit performance before curtain-up, but are, of course, optional.

This, or the Mix ’n Match arrangement, availably separately on Score Exchange, for brass ensemble, percussion and organ, could possibly provide a regal opening to any ceremony, church service or brass concert - or just a short ceremonial fanfare!

Which method of viewing music should I use?

Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:

seView

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.

You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.

Scorch

Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.

If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
