13 yr old and Andre Rieu--- Taps

LEST WE FORGET OUR NEVERENDING GRATITUDE
 
 
This is truly beautiful - Taps (for remembrance day) The conductor of
the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland. The young lady, Melissa
Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist and her rendition of TAPS makes
your hair stand on end.
Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety, for all
of the men & women that have died for you to have the freedom you have
in Canada , the US and Australia. This is an opportunity you won't
want to miss and I guarantee you'll never forget. Amazingly beautiful .. ..
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.
