The awesome Fanfare For the Common Man by Aaron Copland.

This fanfare was written on request from Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, in response to the US entry into the Second World War.
During the First World War, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra had asked British composers for a fanfare to begin each orchestral concert. It had been so successful that he thought to repeat the procedure in World War II with American composers.
Goossens suggested titles like Fanfare for Soldiers, but Copland gave it the much better title Fanfare for the Common Man.
The piece was premiered 12 March 1943 at income tax time, as a homage to the common man.

Even though it is american, I think it should be the "official" fanfare for alle the common people in the world. Kind of like they did the moonlanding for all mankind.
This is just my personal opinion, and I mean no offence to americans for wanting to "steal" this one.

    I really hope aliens don't look like that. If they do I'll tell the first one I see that I hate them.

    RIP Neil Armstrong, RIP crew of Challenger, Columbia, and Apollo 1. "We will never forget you, nor the last time we saw you. As you slipped the surly bonds of Earth, to touch the face of God."

    well they're both fanfares, so they do have a very similar (awesome) quality!
