The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
A brief variant of Ethereal Choir or Victorious Chorus
The difference is subtle but you know it when you hear it- Ethereal Choir would be the softer "🎶ahhhhh🎶..." accompanying the Dramatic Spotlight as Alice spots the last game console in the store on Christmas Eve, Victorious Chorus would be the punchier form like the Spongebob example- something like a bold "🎵DA-DAAH🎵..." or triumphant announcement of whatever was being celebrated.
Fanfare when you get instruments, which can overlap if they're really going over-the-top
This also tends to overlap with a larger Item Get!- the aforementioned dramatic spotlight, Sparkles around the prized item, Victory Pose, etc
In Flapjack and Spongebob, I've noticed that female voices sometimes sing to announce some sort of object when it appears. This happens in a bunch of Flapjack episodes, but in Spongebob, I only recall it happening in the episode "Arrgh!", where the choir chants "The Dutchman's Treasure!", "Two Gold Doubloons!", and "Plastic!"
Does anyone know if there is a trope for this? If it exists, what is it called?
