What is the history of the fanfare?

Answer 1

Fanfares originated from the middle ages, although depictions from ancient Rome include, but the evidence is not completely clear. Fanfares were commonly used in 18th century France and they would have been very quirky and energetic pieces of music, and had lots of repetition in it. Modern fanfares come from the 19th century, and were used for special events like the coronation of the king or queen.
