You might consider the Richard Strauss Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare. Short, sweet, and fun to play. Strauss also did several other fanfares but the Phil. fanfare is the one that gets the most play. Good luck in tracking down the music.

As for the Baroque or Ren. pieces, the Philip Jones catalog would be my go-to source, though your instrumentation would be slightly different. You should make sure that you have the horses in the trumpet section to pull of any of the PJBE charts.

I'm sure that Bryan Daughty from BVD Press would be happy to help you locate some music that fits your needs.

i did not play but heard a college group play part of the PJBE arrangement of music for the royal fireworks and i thought it was arranged pretty well. it seems to pop out pretty well on brass instruments.

The Eric Ewazen "Symphony for Brass" fits your instrumentation pretty well. The whole piece is around 17 minutes but the third movement works well as a standalone piece. It's published by Encore.

I spent quite a bit of time tracking this work down -- it's a kickbutt fanfare -- HOWEVER to perform the thing, Boosey & Hawkes (the publisher) require royalties of $200+ PER single performance. ...and the work is now only available through rental, not through purchase. ...it is treated like an orchestra rental.

Go with some G. Gabrieli, it's public domain!
