==Alternative versions== Copland's fanfare was performed by British prog-rock band [[Emerson, Lake & Palmer]] on their 1977 album ''[[Works Volume 1]]''. [[Fanfare for the Common Man (Emerson, Lake & Palmer song)|The track]] became one of the band's biggest hits when an edited version was released as a single that year. It peaked at No. 2 in the UK. [[Keith Emerson]] had long been an admirer of Copland's Americana style, previously using Copland's ''[[Rodeo (Copland)#Hoe-Down|Hoedown]]'' on the band's ''[[Trilogy (Emerson, Lake & Palmer album)|Trilogy]]'' album in 1972.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://vintagerock.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49|title=The Keith Emerson Interview|last=Perry|first=Shawn|website=VintageRock.com|access-date=September 6, 2016}}</ref> On their [[Styx (album)|debut album]] in 1971, rock band [[Styx (band)|Styx]] recorded a 13-minute, four part song called ''Movement for the Common Man'', including Fanfare as the third of its four parts.

When the enclosure was moved in 2010, "Fanfare" was used instead to announce the procession of competitors from the paddock to the course before the race.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alr3vr-TsFQ|title=Aintree Fanfare to start the main race|last=djlippy1|date=14 April 2012|via=YouTube}}</ref> [[Mannheim Steamroller]] also has a version on its "American Spirit" album.
