  • I really would like to know what military people think about the relation between taps and Il Silencio. I know they sound very similar but something seems to be amiss between the two of them. If anyone has an answer, please explain! Thanks!

  • @Nevermore1953

    go to the Tapsbugler website and do a search for "Taps Bugle Calls in Other Countries"

  • I read a totally different history of this heartwrenching melody than this, which stated that Union Army Captain Robert Elli found his son dead, a Confederate soldier and he had the notes written on a piece of paper on him and he requested a military burial for his son and requested it played at the funeral which was granted and the song was played, and became the funeral song for military men from then on. I am not disputing this history, so please dont feel I am, just stating what I read.

  • @Chiarakai

  • Completely different songs, yes some similarity in the melody, but you can't say they are the same. WE call it Taps. Different songs. Different Countries. Same Sad Message.

  • the 3 who disliked are neocons!

  • @tapsbugler thank you, I had no idea that it was a myth, it was such a touching story, I guess thats why I, like alot of others fell into it so easily. The history of the song is interesting, and thanks for setting things straight. My daughter has an amazing history teacher in school who would enjoy this video, he is an avid historian, whose classroom is like a small museum and he does amazing work as a teacher whose passion is history. I am going to pass this info along to him.

  • Confederacy lost the war! There is no confederacy. Only the United States of America!
