Royal splendor, reimagined for four trumpets. Fanfare for a King (composed for the 1498 coronation of King Louis XII) is a brilliant arrangement for trumpet quartet by Travis Freshner, drawing on the majestic polyphonic style of Josquin Des Prez — one of the most celebrated composers of the Renaissance — to create a piece that commands attention and fills any hall with regal grandeur.
Josquin Des Prez (c. 1450–1521) was a master of Renaissance polyphony, renowned for his expressive clarity and architectural precision. This arrangement channels that legacy into a fanfare that is both historically rooted and immediately exciting for modern audiences and performers alike.
