i'm a Vietnam Vet, Chopper pilot, just turned 80 and would love to have this played at my passing. Such a beautiful rendition by this young lady of exceptional talent.
My uncle was a three tour Vietnam vet and chopper pilot as well. The guy who played taps at his funeral was awesome. This rendition is the correct playing. Military version is beautiful also. Thank you sir for being a Vietnam veteran.
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
About Il Silenzio, it was written in 1965 by Nini Rosso. "It is a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch (government) and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. '
Az én kívánságom is ugyan ez!
Among the very finest versions of Taps that I have ever heard! Thank you for your greatly appreciated and warmly respected service to our Great Country! God Bless America!
This is not Taps, although elements of Taps is included. This is IL Silenzio, written in 1965 to commemorate the liberation of the Netherlands.
Beautifully done. Thank you from a 79 years old Vietnam Veteran.

Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
I am an 81 year old Army vet. And this music is wonderful
Thank you for your service. ❤
being 77 years old and Navy Vet.. brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you for your service.❤
About six miles from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall/winter of 1944. Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" soldier in a place of honor in their home.
Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio,” (The Silence) a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since.
This year the soloist was a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.
As a British Military Veteran, I salute you, and the Dutch people for the care and compassion shown to our American Cousin’s and the upkeep of their resting places…. May they rest in peace.❤️
@@donallen1384I did not know such beautiful music could eminate from taps!!!
We were not liberated but re-occupied by the americans

72 and a vet too and it gets me every time. Sublime thank you Melissa, thank you André and thank you the whole orchestra.
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
My grandfather was a veteran of World War II and when he passed away they played this beautiful melody, he was a Captain stationed in Normandy and it was an honor for him to say goodbye in this way.
You are a legend young lady
I have watched this video more than 20 times, and it brings tears to my eyes every time. And i am not even a soldier.
Right there with you!!!🗽🙏🏼🥹. I bet you choke up when the fighter pilots fly by too like I do!! 🇺🇸
Words can't describe how impressed I am with this young lady's outstanding performance.
No words needed ... Magnificence to the ear, the mind, the soul and to the heart!
I am 87 yrs. old and a veteran. This brought tears to my eyes, She is tremendous!!
obrigado por seus servicos!
I am 72 yr old Veteran. And you are right. This always brings a tear to my eyes. So many lost. And for what purpose? Other than greed of some countries/war mongers & corporate greed.. And that is just the start.
She's and angel poured out from heaven...
salute you Sir may God bless you, Maj Cecotti 8th reg. 8th bn. Folgore Brigade
Blessings, respect & strength to you, Sir.
Love and greets from Amsterdam, The Netherlands ( or Holland)
74 and a NAVY Vietnam Vet, this always brings a lump in my throat. Beautifully played by a wonderfully talented Girl 💕💕💕
As a British Military Veteran, I will have this played as the “Last Post” at my funeral, which is already planned…… I was proud to have served Queen and Country!
My youngest son was going nowhere, then he discovered the army. I cry when I hear this haunting melody, played perfectly.
@@bobwilson7192 🎉😢😊😮
@@bobwilson7192 I send my best wishes to your son for his chosen career, may he enjoy it as much as I did! 😀
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your service and may your Last Post be far, far away.
I am glad I'm not the only one that had tears, Iam a Vietnam veteran. to all my brothers and sisters, I say welcome home!!
Hi uncle Henry if you ask this nincompoops what was the war about in Nan the will never tell this bloody idiots politicians
Welcome home to you brother, may you dream of angles.
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
The Audience is in absolute trance because this absolutely done with so much emotion and perfection, not a murmur or phone in sight, could listen to her constantly ❤❤❤❤
As a trumpet player myself (for 62 years), l have to say she's one of the best!
What.a talent this young lady has just 13 years old.Her ability to play with such a world class standard is unbelievable
She stole the show andre gives them all the glory. This is one hell of a song played brilliantly by the wee girl❤
I'm x military, I hope they can play that at my funeral, brings tear to my eyes each time I hear it played. This young girl has a blessed soul to truly play it with heart. God Bless you Sweetie 😢
Amen to your words Teddy!!!
56 years ago today May 27, 1968 I was wounded in Vietnam on my last day. I was one of the lucky ones.
Yes and thank you for doing your loyal duty to provide the freedom we have all lived in since. Maybe not everywhere we have fought have we had grand victory, but everywhere we fought we were glorious is standing up for human freedom!! We sent our message, >DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BRINGING THAT IDEOLOGY TO THE USA!!! So now, we must clean up our homeland. May it not require what it always has everywhere else. 🙏🏼🥹🇺🇸
Not sure why the TH-cam algorithm finally recommended this to me but …Wow…I had tears in my eyes listening to this beautiful sound.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Wow, what CRYSTAL clear notes. I'm a veteran and would be honored to have her or someone of this skill to play this at my funeral when I pass. I'm 47 and this is absolutely the best rendition I've heard of it and I used to perform military funerals as Gideon Commander and present the flags to many families of our brave men and women who have passed. She is amazing.
I could not agree more with what you have written BaronNate the skill this young lady has is finominal to play like that takes a lot of hours practice
Me enamore desde mi niñez, de esta canción.Y hoy! Poder oirla de tan grande orquesta, es maravilloso!!!❤
Thank you for your service.
Miss Venema renders this melody at a more formal, unrushed pace, producing music wreathed in nostalgic solemnity and cultural pride. It evokes stirring memories. It soothes the spirit. And warms the heart.
I was a member of an Air Force Honor Guard and played TAPS many times but hearing the full version of IL SILENZIO always makes me cry. Not sure if I could have have played the full song if requested to do so.❤
Thank you for your service.❤
Her performance is amazing, simply wonderful but don't lose sight of "why" she is playing, a Celebration of Liberation. The recognition of "those who gave all" to set free the people of the Netherlands. What a fine example of "honor" she provides!!
Il Silenzio was composed by the Italian Nini Rosso in 1965 and became a world wide hit and not as a tribute to fallen soldiers or the American Liberation day.
Are you thinking of the last post.
Such a wonderful rendition of this song I agree 100 percent with what you have written
@@marjakeizer9580 You're kind of right and kind of wrong. "Il Silenzio" is a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands.
@@bytesback. thanks for the info. I had idea that the piece had a Dutch root too.
aus Brasilien 🇧🇷 dieses Lied verursacht viel Nostalgie, besonders bei denen, die beim Militär waren, berührt aber auch Dinge, die das leidenschaftliche Herz berühren.
77 yrs old, Sends chills up and down my spine, watch it from time to time, the start more like Taps for a fallen Solder, I'm a Army Vet, Airborne
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
So moved by her performance that it reminds me of those soldiers who died in a battle field and
couldn't return to their homeland.
The last post. A soldiers memory.
Exactly as intended I'm sure. Very reverent. As it should be. 🙏🏼✝️
April 5th 2009 at 10:30pm my Dad passed away from cancer. We had come home after saying our goodbyes to him, and my Mom got on her PC to start the process of emailing family that he had passed away. As she checked her emails, someone had sent a link to this performance. It was as if the Lord new as a family we needed to hear this. We stood around the monitor and listen quietly. I feel it was Dad saying his last goodbye to us.
That's utterly beautiful 🥹
1.2K people must live at the bottom of a very deep pit and have no soul ,this girl is an angel, so wake up and see the beauty. 🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧
Amen
David I never seen one bad comment
@@garydixon8847 11 months ago you could see bad reviews
@@davidweston4007 That means they have censored reviews. Which is bad. Nothing worse than an echo chamber channel.
Thanks TH-cam, this button no longer exists…
U.S. Army Veteran, this made me cry too.
This melody Il Silenzio touches my heart and always makes me cry.
Some people don't realize that to play a piece like this with feeling, proper phrasing and intonation is infinitely harder to play than many technical pieces that may sound much harder. This was done masterfully.
Beautiful!
Especially on a stage like that!
Absolutely. I've played the trumpet for 40 years. I've played this piece myself and I've heard it play by dozens of players, but never as beautiful as Melissa. And she can do technical pieces as well, like Haydn Trumpet Concerto.
She's 27 nowadays and is a professional player.
@@Pascalsmit1971hi truth p use

Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely cannot watch this without tears in my eyes. This beautiful girl playing this beautiful, haunting music melts my heart and restores my soul. Thank you ❤
Astonishing..I have never heard the Trumpet played with such clarity and perfection. Every note touches the Soul and warms the Heart, and in true Classy Fashion, featured by Andre Rieu. Goosebumps....
You haven't heard much trumpet playing.
@@houndawg3He may heard much, but you heard more...how bout that?
This song rememberd always on a military funeral. Respect to all veterans and soldats
I have nothing to say about this performance except - WOW! Beautiful! Such an incredible talent, The audience was spellbound as I would have been if I had been lucky enough to present.
Rest in peace, all you Young soldiers, who have falen during the War .God bless you and your family! Love!
Fallen for...?
Veronica, fallen because of hateful politicians, not for peace, I'm sorry but the US regime and others have caused much sorrow in the world
@@hansniessen8976 fallen for politician's greed
I am a combat veteran and the first time I hear this I was crying like a baby I can watch her a million times and cry every time
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
I love it when very young people appreciate the classical arts. This child is an amazing talent.
Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV her source ❤😊
WOW! She is absolutely a musician with perfect tone and her emotion in playing this beautiful song. The trumpet is a clear as a bell. So glad I got to see her play Silenzio. The best!
I am in full agreement with this statement.
Bravissima
I've heard a lot of people play this! But this is absolutely the most beautifully played ever!
I agree 👍
Boa tarde? nação Humana? estou no espaço galquias?o primeiro? nação Humana? sabedoria? está aqui?
This version is the very best IMHO. It’s the only version that brings tears to my eyes.
I played for many years. This young lady has a beautiful sound. This brought tears to my eyes as it was so well performed.
Such beautiful sound from such a lovely young woman.
❤
God is everywhere
What a piece of Heaven. What a beautiful, gifted, dedicated little bluebell. 🥲😍
This playing is hauntingly emotional. For a young girl to reach this supreme level of music is just incredible. Nino Rosso would be surprised. Thanks a million fromJohn, Hongkong

Эта девушка ангел. А ее исполнение потрясающе. Я, русский, заплакал. Слезы сами полились из глаз. Дай бог тебе, красавица, долгую жизнь, здоровья и счастья полными охапками.
Wow - I could only hope that the people here in the States could share that same pride in what our fathers did during the war!!
Amen to that Mike H. It is very much deserved
Thank u its Anzac day Australia 2024.i am a Vietnam Vet to all my brother and Sisters who never came home .and 4 those who ca.e home But never Left. U showed as all RESPECT.
this 13 year old lass has just performed probably the finest rendition of il Silenzio that I have ever heard JJ
Eu digo o mesmo!👍👍👍👍
What absolutely AMAZES me, is her phenomenal breath controll. That's a very difficult piece to play at any time, but a trumpet can make or break this piece. This 13 year old lass is an absolute maestra with her mastery of this instrument. Bravo young lady. You're definitely going places.
Klasse
I'm an ex trumpet player. I was taught by my father, an ex army bandsman. He taught me to play this, but I could never put across the emotion that this young lady and Nini Rossi could. Sublime. It still makes me cry and I'm 57
I'm 70 and I also have the same feeling. One of the best , all years long!!!
You described it perfectly. It's something quite special is this, as is the young lady playing.
Never be ashamed to be emotional, it’s all good.
Sure n it aint bout age eh .
god bless you sir GC, You have my respect.
Brilliant! Tears from a Veteran!
She’s good and the music is meaningful. I rarely see solo trumpet performers. Amazing!
Mi ricordo il servizio di leva
@danielegiacone4923 thank you for your service. May I ask what branch and flag you under?
One word Bravo
She play the instrument like she knows it for 50 years she is a old soul in a new body
I've listened to this many times now. Complete silence broken by the liquid gold of a stunning performance of a beautiful piece of music. Words defy me. Stunning.
Downloaded and saved here.
*@Lin Riddles* - Your words not only *DIDN'T "defy" you,* but *they did you proud;* I agree with _EVERY WORD!_ 🤟😉
I have listened to this many times and will keep doing so 😊🍻

" El Silencio" la oí de niña.Y hoy me has sorpendido y deleitado, con este bello equipo.Maravilloso!💌
As a military veteran I just love the way she plays this rendition, brings tears to my eyes. I’ve played it dozens of times. Would like it played at my funeral and have told my daughter that!
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
This was played with such emotion direct from her heart to the loops & Into the Trumpet, It was So So beautiful, What a Very Special Young Lady, So Talented, Bravo 👏👏👏👏
I played a trumpet back in the day....this girls tone quality and smoothness moving between the notes was absolute perfection ! What a true and talented musician she really is. I hope to hear more from her.
Edward, I see you've discovered Melissa. This interpretation of The Last Outpost , was her own creation and really kick started her career. You can see her 12 yrs old gig she did at the Prensingract Concert. She is pushing 30 now I think and you can watch her grow with many TH-cam video's. She inspired me to want to learn the trumpet though I haven't done so well.
I’ve played in orchestras and known many trumpeters, and this doesn’t look real to me...
@@barryvj171 the tune she is playing is played without the values on the trumpet. It is commonly known as Taps or Last Post. I play in my community band for Remembrance Day and the trumpeter who plays "Last Post" uses an authentic military bugle which has no valves. It is all played with the tonguing.
@@nancyforeman1292 it is not Taps or The Last Post..........it is Il Silenzio
@@nancyforeman1292 Look more closely... she does use valves.
The skies rolled back like a scroll and the Angels played for us. One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard.

That little girl are fantastic and the sound she makes, whit her trumpet, is amazing, i wish her only the best, only 13 , what a sound
So sad, painful, but beautiful!!! I cry whenever I hear her!!!
give this child a standing ovation
👍👍✌️👏
She plays not only an instrument, she plays from her soul. She's wonderful ! 🎷🎶
Traumhaftes schönes Trompetten-Solo - schönen herzlichen Dank !!

Thank you Andrie for showcasing such a wonderful talent standing in the background allowing the attention to be focused on a rare and glorious talent
He often does!
Beautiful control and breathing. Silent intake of air. She has amazing skills for her age. Beautiful
**ABSOLUTELY SO BEAUTIFUL SHE MADE ME CRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT!!! THANK YOU YOUNG LADY!!!**
**GOD BLESS YOU!!!**
Such intonation and phrasing. She honors all those boys , mostly poor, and girls now, sadly, who sacrifice with honor in needless war.
One of THE most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, played to PERFECTION. Brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it.
My God! If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes, nothing will.
Yes....!.. it definitely does. I’m in joyful tears hearing Her. Love 💕. Rbrt callis usa
This is so stunningly beautiful. It has transported me to a different world ..back to the best years of my life. Thank you .
I watched this baby girl do this with Andre's orchestra shortly after they recorded it. I assumed she put together this version herself. I was dewley impressed. Then I found her video's at the Prinzengracht concerts. She inspired me to want to learn the trumpet. That high C at the end is no small feat.
@@mmartin7483 me too. It was great then and it’s just as great now!!!
Every time I play it, Sir.
Rare to see a live audience (mesmerized) like this. Well deserved applause.
(*mesmerized)
The audience looks as if it would not be familiar with classical music or this piece of pop trumpet.
wouderfpul wunderschön
It is a European audience.
Regardless of age, that was stunning. Taking age into account, that was masterful. A true rare talent.
As a past trumpet player, I have only one thing to say. OMG!
My goodness, as an ex serviceman, l cannnot stop crying. Soo beautiful.
Thank you for your service.
Army Vet. Brought to tears.
LOS SOLDADOS SABEMOS QUE SIGNIFICA CUANDO ESCUCHAMOS ESTA TONADA, ES POR EL DESCANSO ETERNOS DE NUESTROS CAMARADAS
This was BEAUTIFUL!! Every time I hear this as a Veteran i think of my brothers who didn't make it back. To my Brothers not forgotten!!
We will remember them.
I too agree brother.
sèmper fi
Sensationnelle Mélissa Venema jouer ainsi de la trompette cette pureté de son je suis en admiration je l’écoute plusieurs fois par jour merci beaucoup
Now you made me cry….thank you forever for the service given by you and your brave band…
WOW! Absolutely heart grabbing. What a prodigy standing forefront. Her timing is impeccable.
She is amazing for age
And such great talent.
This piece was the most moving I have ever heard it played. The young girl felt the music, understood it, and drove it straight into my heart.
My Granny passed in February last year and she was a big fan of you Andre we both are she had a signed photo proudly sat on her wall in the livingroom hearing this song makes me smile and think of her I wish you and your family all the best this New Year ❤
I couldn't help but lose it!! Her musicality is every bit as beautiful as she is!!! BRAVO!!!!
Questo è il Silenzio militare italiano .....solo pochi possono percepire le emozioni che dà.. ...Semper Fidelis.....
I am a Miltary widow. God bless this young girl....her playing is awesome....And God Bless our planet...and all those around the world struggling to be FREE.
Never have I ever heard this played so beautifully!! She's so young, truly a very gifted young child!!
Young Lady, THAT was the BEST I have EVER heard this played!! You totally captivated the audience - and Andre, too!! I listened to this many times - it was SO beautiful!!! Thank you, Melissa, you are a True Virtuoso!!! God Bless and Much Love! Jerry N.
Wow. Beautifull. Out. Standing no. Other. Word. Beauty. Tone. Well. Done. Thank. Young. Lady.
😎👍🇮🇪🎺
I am proud of her! You go Melissa! She is my dads cousin.
That is one child I would never complain about her practicing at home ,absolutely flawless performance
My son plays 3/4 Tuba and I never complain. ;) :)
where is she playing ??
And a beautiful smile to end it all
She has a beautiful gift. I've never heard this done with so much feeling. It raised the hairs on my arms!
So many people seem to struggle with this instrument and this young girl handles it effortlessly and beautifully.
Ditto!!!
May God bless all those fallen for our freedoms and God bless this young lady for honoring them with her beautiful music.
I have no words to express my feelings listening again and again and again at this extraordinary played peace of music by this wonderful girl.
The gesture she makes at the end to the audience meaning, I think, "frome me to you, thanks you for listening and goodbye" is heartbreaking beautiful. It is so mooving. Thank you so much dear Melissa and Mr Rieu.
The silence and respect that the audience gave her tells you everything you need to know
MOST touching for those of us who served : thanks a million for the reminder. Bob
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

It is the combat arms soldier who could relate the most. The rest of us can only enjoy!
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲
Wow... It is so hard to play notes THAT clear on a trumpet. Well played Ms. Venema!
Αυτό το κορίτσι είναι άγγελος, είχα να ακούσω το silenzio από το 1978 στα χιονισμένα βουνά των Σερρών, φαντάρος το έπαιζε κάθε βράδυ ο Σαλπιστής, Κλάδης ❤
Beautiful and as a former Trumpet player I salute this young woman for both her courage and her skill...
The word "trumpet" doesn't get capitalized.
Oh, my! I don't know where to begin; the child played magnificently, but how in the world did she have sufficient wind in that tiny body?? The sound of a trumpet well played is just so special, kind of like liquid gold, and this little girl most definitely produced that sound.
I noticed, and very much appreciated, when Andre gave the tiniest of nods to the girl, which I took as both encouragement and approval to/of her playing.
Well done, child, well done!!
I think more for the timing, she has very much execise
It is one of those instruments that if you do not play it technically VERY well it sounds terrible. Plenty of emotion in this 13 yr old, what will she do in a few more years?
Some time they use something that’s cold circular breathing. In tru the nose,and out of the mouth.
She looks 40 years old with thin body of 13
Thanks for sharinhgAudrey lookes yummy 😋
Uimitor!!!
Un moment memorabil, o liniște nepretuită .❤️🌹🥰
Amazing. This brought me to tears for my late buddies.
No matter how many times I hear this melody, it brings tears to my eyes. What an amazing talent for someone so young. How wonderful that Andre Rieu gave this young lady a chance to be recognized.
