Thanks Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing "Melissa Venema performs amazing rendition of "il Silenzio", which has a similarity to Taps but has a much different tempo.
Background: "Il Silenzio" was written in 1965 by trumpet player Nini Rosso and Guglielmo Brezza, its thematic melody being an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky to open his Capriccio Italien"

Here is then 17-year-old Melissa Venema plays live Il Silenzio at Carré Amsterdam with the Metropole orchestra on March 31 2013.
