At Christmas
we celebrate the arrival of the King! In the middle ages the arrival of a king
was announced by fanfare trumpets. As part of our Christmas celebration we hang
a fanfare trumpet on our fireplace mantle.
It’s a special
trumpet with a long straight tube that has a banner hanging on it. We found
this trumpet in an arts and crafts store and added the banner.
Ours is
counted cross stitch banner that was inspired by a Christmas card. Angelic heralds
announce the birth of the King, Jesus, the Light of the World.
Fanfare,
written for special state events, is played by brass instruments. The birth of a
king is a special state event. Here’s Christmas fanfare for the birth of the
King of Kings, the Light of the World. From the album “Main Street – Songs for Today” this video is
scrolling playback of a Christmas carol.
