Brings back so many memories of me and my lovely wife Sue,we used to play this in my mams back room when we were all of fifteen, many years ago,it still pulls the old heart strings.
Waken my young friends,its II Silenzio the angel has lifted you from the battle field and now you are with the golden trumpet that called you home.As an ex.Service Personal thanks for being on my side,as you gave your all.
This piece was COMPOSED by the Great Master ENNIO MORRICONE... actually for a funeral scene in an obscure low-budget Spaghetti Western called 'The Return of Ringo'
It's original title is "The Funeral". But... "Il Silenzio" ~ yeah, that works too.
(Tried to find a YouTube of the original, but nuthin doin)
This beautiful composition has seemingly been mis-attributed to Nini Rosso, but anyone who has the soundtrack to Ennio Morricone's 'Il Ritorno di Ringo' (1965) will know that is NOT true
@HughHue Il Silenzio (Silence in English) is an Italian pop music instrumental piece, with a small part of spoken Italian lyrics, notable for its trumpet theme. It was written in 1965 by trumpet player Nini Rosso and Guglielmo Brezza, its thematic melody being an extension of the bugle military call for taps. It has become a worldwide instrumental standard, which has sold around 10 million copies.
@Bonapart1808 Hi! I have already explained: this piece is really 'The Funeral' COMPOSED BY ENNIO MORRICONE (and in 1965), who's own instrument was Trumpet and who has written many fine pieces for that instrument, INCLUDING THIS ONE.
The player Nini Rosso could hardly have entered the pop charts with a piece called "The Funeral", hence the change to "The Silence". But changing the name does not change THE TRUE AUTHOR. The royalties on those 10 million copies RIGHTLY belong to Morricone
Difficult not to be moved by this superb piece of trumpet playing. I also noticed the name of Gerry Brereton as one of the supporting acts. He was blind and in the 1970's worked as a telephonist for Barclays Bank where I met him. It's a small world!
Hi, Gerry used to be my father inlaw and sometimes I drove him and Tim (his pianist) to their gigs in the '60s..He had a super voice and I think he did two Royal Variety shows as well. He sang along with Eddie to 'Oh Mein Papa' it was great. I have been looking for any clips of Gerry at shows if you know where I may find any. Cheers and all the best.
Ace piece of music by an ace player takes me back a lot of years when I wanted to play like him. Amazing how a soul can be transferred through a bit of copper.
Któż by kiedys przypuszczał,że ten przepiękny utwór będą grać,w większości bardzo mierni trębacze,na każdym pogrzebie.Czasami mnie to już denerwuje.Jest tyle,równie pięknych,utworów,które można by zagrać podczas uroczystości pogrzebowych.
This version is so much like Nini Rosso's original and just as good. I love the tune and it's one of those that gets stuck in my head for days on end. This one's going in my playlist and I'm also going to share it with my YT friends. When I first heard "Il Silenzio", I actually thought it was Eddie Calvert playing but it wasn't. It was Nini, yet both versions sound so much alike. The only thing that sets them apart is the spoken verse which is on Nini's but not Eddie's. Thanks for posting!
Enjoyed the vid enourmously. EC trumpet playing of course, but particularly the video/sound montage, particularly the Great Yarmouth theatre then/now mix -great timing and a nice touch.where is that from? original?
I love the track too and also enjoyed looking at Gt Yarmouth, then and now. I recognise many of the places shown, especially the Windmill Theatre. As for the track, it's as good as Nini Rosso's original and very much like it too. It's very haunting and I now have it among my favourites here and in another folder on my pc. Eddie Calvert was known as "The Man With The Golden Trumpet", I reckon Nini could've held that title too. May they both rest in peace.
