TRUMPET Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "trumpet" denotes a brass instrument belonging to the brass family, typically consisting of a cylindrical tube and a flared bell shape at one end. It is known for producing sound through the player's controlled blowing of air into the narrow mouthpiece, triggering vibrations within the instrument. The trumpet is played by creating different pitches using a series of three valves, allowing the player to alter the length of the tubing and thus change the pitch produced. Trumpets are distinguished by their bright, piercing sound that can carry over long distances.

    Historically, the trumpet has held significant cultural and ceremonial roles. Used across various genres of music such as classical, jazz, orchestral, and marching bands, it often serves as a melody or solo instrument, bringing forth bold and distinctive musical expressions. Its presence is prominent in military and royal events, where it has traditionally heralded important proclamations, signaled the beginning of battles, and marked memorable occasions.

    Beyond its musical applications, the term "trumpet" can also metaphorically refer to resonant sounds or voices, achieving a similar emphasis and attention-grabbing effect. In the context of card games, "trump" is a suit or category of cards that outranks others, possessing special privileges or abilities. Additionally, "trumpet" may be used as a verb to describe announcing or proclaiming something loudly or forcefully, attracting widespread attention to a particular idea or cause.

  2. • A wind instr., used chiefly in war and military exercises and music, and for conveying orders with increased power of sound.
