07: Extinguish Lights

January 31, 2016 Matthew Billy

Taps is a 24 note bugle call that was composed during the American Civil War. It is the only piece of music that is required to be performed at a United States military funeral. Oddly, when it was written it was never intended to be played at funerals. It was supposed to tell soldiers when to go to sleep. Here is a link to Jari Villanueva's website: TapsBugler.com
