Fanfare for Orchestra was composed in 1995 for the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and first performed on the 22nd June 1995 conducted by Edvard Tchivzel at a Main Series Concert at the Aotea Centre, Auckland.

The Fanfare was commissioned as part of the APO's Composer-in-Residence programme to open a special concert to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. This short work for large orchestra follows an A-B-A structure with the archetypal fanfare elements sounding out from the brass section.
