|'''Richard Donner''' (on the opening theme for ''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'')}}
A type of [[Mood Motif]] that was traditionally used in medieval Europe to celebrate the arrival of [[Royal Blood|a royal person]]. Today, it is still present in music as a form of celebrating something. A fanfare generally uses horns, or the closest digital music equivalent, and is stirring and uplifting.
Compare [[Orchestral Bombing]], [[Drum Roll, Please]], [[Ermine Cape Effect]] (having the same effect for royalty, but with clothes).
