Didn't know either.
I don't hear a lot of fanfare music.
Fun fact, I was actually in a fanfare orchestra for three years.
We may have played one of his songs, can't quite remember.
Not these anyway.

They also did a 'cover' of Copeland's Fanfare For The Common Man. Awesome.

Wouldn't Fanfare for the Common Cold by P.D.Q. Bach be more appropriate in the present situation?
I find more places selling the sheet music than I find performances on the internet, but Fanfare for the Common Cold, Schickele 98.7[^] is one. The spoken introduction is long (almost 6 minutes) and not by Peter Schickele himself, but the presenter makes an honest attempt to communicate the spirit of P.D.Q Bach.

This, by Devin Townsend, was the first thing I heard explicitly written for the current situation.
But for me Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi (aka Life Out of Balance - this is the first track of the album) feels particularly appropriate...

During this work from home I came to appreciate some software and apps which I used and some which I hated even though I don't use
Like:
1. Skype for business for surprisingly effective for the group meeting.
2. Cisco phone soft panel worked like a charm and did not had to worry about mixing personal and business calls
3. VNC was a blessing in disguise as Plan B when Remote login to lab machines failed or just slowed.
Hate app even though did not use it.

Yeah, sure if you want to be spied-on by the Chinese gov't. LMAO.

Racism and politics have no place in the CP Lounge.
And 99% of the spying-on that's going on is by US corporations.

That's true and my post was neither. Stating facts is stating facts. Just because you don't like the facts doesn't make it racist or political.

TikTok has nothing to do with the Chinese government (which, incidentally, is far to busy managing a country of 1.4 milliard people to spy on you). If you think you can prove otherwise, do it elsewhere.
Your FUD, racism, and political slurs are unwelcome.
And remember, every time you insult the Chinese, you insult my wife.
I would question the wisdom in doing that.

You have those far too connected. It is a fact that China is in an expansionist state, even though your wife may not be. China is also far more racist than America is (although I won't say than we were!).: Proof that the Chinese government is Lying! - YouTube

I said nothing about the Chinese people, let alone your wife, but rather about the gov't of China. As for proof that the gov't of China is spying go do your own research because any proof I could bring to bear you will just discount due to your bias. You bringing your wife into this argument just proves your unmitigated bias. I know nothing about your wife and she has nothing to do with this so leave her out of it.
Stating facts is not insulting nor are they "slurs". Good Night, man! Get off your low-horse.

My top three favorite apps have to be Borderlands 3, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, yes, a classic!
They're really my go-to anti-productivity tools at the moment

I've got Sid Meier's Civilization III, IV and V on Steam for my anti-productivity tools, along with Tabletop Simulator for group anti-productivity events. I'm also finding that Overdrive along with Kindle Cloud Reader is a fine anti-productivity tool, as it allows me to check out e-books through our local public library. Stuart Woods, Randy Wayne White, C.J. Box and Janet Evanovich are my current favorites for that.

An old favorite of mine as well!
Used to play this with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band playing in the background.

Count me in for GTA Online, though it has nothing to do with the current situation.
I was an avid gamer, quit cold turkey over a decade ago, but have always made an exception for the GTA series. I've ignored the Online part of GTA5 for years as I figured it, like most online games, was all about 12-year olds who have nothing better to do than play all day and you stand no chance against them and getting owned all the time. But I tried it out last year, and there's ways around that, and I now have a good team and to this day I'm still stretching the $60 or so I paid for the game years ago.

No - not covid-19; not even negative oil prices.
I'm talking about "LMAO" as an expression.
Originally, people used to say "laughing my head off" but this transformation is symptomatic of how, in just a few generations, the organ used to laugh and, for that matter, think has changed.*
