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. '
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!

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.❤️
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.
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.
I am a Soldier from the Uruguayan Army, and my father was an Officer from my Army, I had the honor to play this for him on his funeral, only the Army people we understand how deep this is
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.
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.
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.
aus Brasilien 🇧🇷 dieses Lied verursacht viel Nostalgie, besonders bei denen, die beim Militär waren, berührt aber auch Dinge, die das leidenschaftliche Herz berühren.
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 ❤
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!
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 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 😢
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.
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.
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 ❤❤❤❤
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.
@@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.
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 UA-cam video's. She inspired me to want to learn the trumpet though I haven't done so well.
@@conservative-proud 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.
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.
I don't believe I have ever heard such a beautiful rendition...from such a beautiful young woman . I have been a trumpet player all my life...this young woman brings me to tears
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.
As an 86 year old Canadian vet who spent time in France in the 60s and saw all the cemeteries with crosses row by row I start to cry when I hear this piece and will have it played at my passing. 👨🏼✈️
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.
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.
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!
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

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.
I am 81 years old. Served in Vietnam 2 tours. Yes it makes me feel better about what this means. Yes I agree that I would love having this played at my passing. Several years ago, there was a tribute to a person who had passed at my local golf club. His friends had a gathering at the clubhouse. They had hired a bagpiper to play. As everyone gathered outside the clubhouse, the bagpiper played while walking to the clubhouse. Very emotional. Perfect.
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.
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.
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....
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!!
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?
I'm in a Rest Home in New Zealand and had forgotten how beautiful this piece is. This young woman played " The Silence" to perfection. I don't know when this was videoed but I am so glad I came across this
An angel with perfect control of her instrument and self, breathing, cheeks, diaphragm . Perfect, and watching the master's guidance. Thankyou Andre' for giving these much deserved younger musicians their chance they deserve and have earned. Off grid in Oklahoma Mt.Momma
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.
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 shed tears every time I hear this...I never was in the service but come from a marine background..for every soul that lost their lives defending this great country and the world, we owe our own lives to them. Don Kisling
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 have watched this video more than 20 times, and it brings tears to my eyes every time. And i am not even a soldier. But listening to this song makes me think of all the (young) men who died in WWll and the Pacific War. Thanks to them we now live in freedom on these continents. RIP🙏🙏
An incredibly beautiful girl plays with the heavenly sound of a trumpet. In a few seconds I felt tears in my eyes. I have never heard anything so extraterrestrial. This performance, exactly from Melissa , I will wish to accompany me on my last journey ...
Well, I was just passing through and this came up. Whatever the age, this was perfection. While I don't often hear trumpet music, I can't say that I have ever heard a trumpet played with such clarity and beauty. It makes you wonder what her future will be. I would say a good part of her life has already been dedicated to music and hopefully she will have many years to come. Melissa Venema. Note - Looking through her history it looks like this must have been done several years ago. She is older now with many performances behind her. All beautifully done but this is especially beautiful. Thanks for a nice morning.
Just WOW! I clicked on this as a dad of a 13 year old who is and exceptional guitarist. I always support other kids who have dedicated themselves as my boy has to an instrument. But lets just forget for a moment this is a 13 year old girl, lets admire her exceptional talent regardless. For me that was the most beautiful trumpet (?) playing I have ever heard. Well done young lady well done!
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.
A huge bow and even bigger thank you to Andre for ferreting out and bringing forth such astounding sounds and giving the performers a light-years-ahead break in their much deserved careers in presenting perfection.

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.
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?
One word Bravo
She play the instrument like she knows it for 50 years she is a old soul in a new body
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?
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
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
give this child a standing ovation
👍👍✌️👏
Wow. Beautifull. Out. Standing no. Other. Word. Beauty. Tone. Well. Done. Thank. Young. Lady.
😎👍🇮🇪🎺
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!!!
Beautiful control and breathing. Silent intake of air. She has amazing skills for her age. Beautiful
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 😋
I wish I played that well at 13....she is magnificent ❤ 2:22
What a piece of Heaven. What a beautiful, gifted, dedicated little bluebell. 🥲😍
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.
I'm in a Rest Home in New Zealand and had forgotten how beautiful this piece is. This young woman played " The Silence" to perfection. I don't know when this was videoed but I am so glad I came across this
Stay safe Anne.
Questo è il Silenzio militare italiano .....solo pochi possono percepire le emozioni che dà.. ...Semper Fidelis.....
I feel so sorry for those poor souls who didn't like this.
You can't help ignorance. They just don't listen.
Seriously...
Wonderful feeling, excellent sound and so romantic evening.Congratulations for the young girl.🌷❤️👍🙋
The thing is they have no souls
@@jones616
What???
She plays not only an instrument, she plays from her soul. She's wonderful ! 🎷🎶
**ABSOLUTELY SO BEAUTIFUL SHE MADE ME CRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT!!! THANK YOU YOUNG LADY!!!**
**GOD BLESS YOU!!!**
U.S. Army Veteran, this made me cry too.
An angel with perfect control of her instrument and self, breathing, cheeks, diaphragm . Perfect, and watching the master's guidance. Thankyou Andre' for giving these much deserved younger musicians their chance they deserve and have earned. Off grid in Oklahoma Mt.Momma
@Some One Cell phone creates a hot spot. I have done the same thing even in parts of New Guinea.
Papua?
Wow Wow Wow Respekt
What’s being off grid have to do with this video?
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:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
It is the combat arms soldier who could relate the most. The rest of us can only enjoy!
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 shed tears every time I hear this...I never was in the service but come from a marine background..for every soul that lost their lives defending this great country and the world, we owe our own lives to them. Don Kisling
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 ❤
So sad, painful, but beautiful!!! I cry whenever I hear her!!!
Never have I ever heard this played so beautifully!! She's so young, truly a very gifted young child!!
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. But listening to this song makes me think of all the (young) men who died in WWll and the Pacific War. Thanks to them we now live in freedom on these continents. RIP🙏🙏
Right there with you!!!🗽🙏🏼🥹. I bet you choke up when the fighter pilots fly by too like I do!! 🇺🇸
same here
Regardless of age, that was stunning. Taking age into account, that was masterful. A true rare talent.
WOW! Absolutely heart grabbing. What a prodigy standing forefront. Her timing is impeccable.
Absolutely beautiful
She is very talented young lady
Gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes.
I've played the trumpet since the 6th grade, I'm 63 now.. she has a tone that take years to accomplish, I can't imagine her in another 10 years..
An incredibly beautiful girl plays with the heavenly sound of a trumpet. In a few seconds I felt tears in my eyes. I have never heard anything so extraterrestrial. This performance, exactly from Melissa , I will wish to accompany me on my last journey ...
Well, I was just passing through and this came up. Whatever the age, this was perfection. While I don't often hear trumpet music, I can't say that I have ever heard a trumpet played with such clarity and beauty. It makes you wonder what her future will be. I would say a good part of her life has already been dedicated to music and hopefully she will have many years to come. Melissa Venema. Note - Looking through her history it looks like this must have been done several years ago. She is older now with many performances behind her. All beautifully done but this is especially beautiful. Thanks for a nice morning.
Just WOW! I clicked on this as a dad of a 13 year old who is and exceptional guitarist. I always support other kids who have dedicated themselves as my boy has to an instrument. But lets just forget for a moment this is a 13 year old girl, lets admire her exceptional talent regardless. For me that was the most beautiful trumpet (?) playing I have ever heard. Well done young lady well done!
Stunning. I cried thinking of my father who landed at Normandy❤
😊
I couldn't help but lose it!! Her musicality is every bit as beautiful as she is!!! BRAVO!!!!
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.
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!
Looks very moving but I do not believe she is playing cheeks are not puffed out this is a phony
From bushwar Veteran South African , respect and salute to eatch and every veteran soldier ,thanks for this beautiful musick ❤❤❤
Amazing ... she played it so beautifully. Her presence and musical ability are a gift. Thank you.
Now in her early 20's, she can still make gorgeous music making that beautiful instrument just sing out in sweet melody. Melissa is incredible!
She really is!
A huge bow and even bigger thank you to Andre for ferreting out and bringing forth such astounding sounds and giving the performers a light-years-ahead break in their much deserved careers in presenting perfection.
She brings a joyful tear to my eyes, everything I play it . She is Excellent
