Although the trumpet underwent changes during the Renaissance, it has been in existence far longer than that. Used at first for military purposes, studies show that ancient people used materials such as animal horns for similar purposes (i.e. to announce danger). Trumpets and cornets are used interchangeably in jazz music.
