"Taps" unlike I've heard before!
I'll copy and paste from an email I received today from a member of the Marine Corp Presidents band. (A horn player himself)
I have heard this many times never like this. NEVER knew there was more to it!

So Bob, who wrote or arranged it like that in the 1960's?
Guess the Canadian Press that was included in the forward was a bit off on some facts. Some info. http://www.west-point.org/taps/Taps.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Post |

Thanks Jim. That was amazing and so beautiful.
I've still got goose bumps from listenening to her play. The only thing that would or could have made it any better would be someone singing the words to Taps while she played. Also found it on YouTube....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK9Ji...eature=related If you have the YouTube video downloader you can save it to your computer.

Even tho it's not a valid reinterpretation of Taps, you must admit it is still a beautiful piece. I do not think it was intended to do harm to Taps, but a rendition with love and soul from a very talented young lady.

I got it FROM a MARINE in the Marine Corps Presidents Band who wanted me to HEAR the rendition.
I did NOT think I had to share his entire E-Mail so I cut and pasted. I dont make habit of fact checking every item included in a forward. My main thought was to share the rendition. Sorry Bob, if you dont like it or were offended that incorrect info was included. Wish what you typed didnt come across so rudely. Hopefully this doesnt come across the same. |

The girl can play very well. It's not common to hear someone so young play a trumpet that well. I kind of wish the orchestra wasn't there so you could only her.

Bruce, I wouldn't worry about it. So what if it's a sidestep from the original Taps, it's still a beautiful piece of music. And I also understand what Bob meant, he's right too. It's not the original correct US Military Taps. Both are beautiful pieces in their own right. Both will bring a tear to your eye and goose bumps more profound than anything else played.... except our National Anthem.
