Lethe is the River of Forgetfulness, Amos. I doubt that I can ever forget that the TRUMPET is the ne plus ultra of instruments. As I have said before, no one expects a D7 chord to announce the end of the world, nor did the walls of Jericho tumble as the banjoists marched around them. Accordions did not introduce the entry of great kings and nobles. Nay, it is the TRUMPET which rules them all, ably assisted by the noble drum.
