The true musical answer is - all of the ones included in a single musical piece -
Musicians have argued this for many a long year. But all agree if a piece is written for all the instrument in the orchestra and one fails to play then it is noticeable. therefore every instrument that the composer wrote the piece for is vital.
For the brass section: trumpets, trombones, horns (French) and tubas.
For the string section: violins, violas, cellos, and bass viols.
For the woodwind section: flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons.
For the percussion section: timpani, drums, xyplophone/marimba/glockenspiel, and piano if necessary.
Also instruments such as harps which I can't remember how to classify :P.
It is all according to which part of the orchestra the music was written for. If it was a Fanfare then it would be the brass section. As has already been explained in other answers to a similar question, every instrument has its own part to play to complete the whole of the piece. You cannot have a sweet lullaby without the string section and perhaps the harp. Each has its own part to play in any given piece of music. Listen carefully to any orchestrational piece and will be able to pick out all of the sections.
