"Fanfare for Cloud Gate," written by Orbert Davis and performed with the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic brass section, was composed in dedication of the 110-ton sculpture located in Chicago's Millennium Park.

Maggie Daley, wife of Mayor Richard M. Daley, proclaimed it Cloud Gate Day in honor of the 42-foot-wide, 33-foot-high sculpture. Indian-born sculptor Anish Kapoor has drawn critical praise as one of the premier pieces of public art in the United States, and has been compared to the city's famous Picasso sculpture.
