Amazingly beautiful .. Melissa Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist.
Here is “Taps” played in its entirety. The Original version of ‘Taps’ was
called ‘Last Post’, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was
rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was
shortened to 24 notes and re-named ‘Taps’. Melissa Venema is playing it on
a trumpet whereby the original was played on a bugle.
