I'm old,74. I played the trumpet when I was young. This young lady has complete control of a very fickle instrument. She has that magic touch that makes a trumpet come alive and stir the emotions with clear, beautifully crafted notes. Incidentally, I played slightly to one side on my mouth too.
I started in 1955. Still have my 1957 (if it were a Chevy, it would be a classic!) trumpet that my father paid $133.00 for! I remember it well, because it was so much money to him :) I'll be 76 this August. I agree with you completely about Melissa!
Adrian Larkins I am 66 and played trumpet and baritone in high school. I could play the notes but after hearing her I don't believe I ever played the music.
@@jimdrich1967 Since then- trumpets has lost popularity to guitares, every kid in my block are about favoring them. Needless to say I have 2 brand new chromated. Copper silver trumpets brand new in kevlar cases, white gloves - complete for $78 only.
I'm 69, and although I've played clarinet, string bass and a couple other instruments from the "distant past", I took up brass this year, buying a trombone in March, and a trumpet a week ago (each of the instruments for about $120, from eBay). I'm having a lot of fun, although I doubt I'll even play either anywhere as well as Melissa, especially on the trumpet!
This tune reminds me of all the family and friends who I’ve lost over the years, and of course the many people who have lost their lives in the two world wars, I cry each time I hear this tune. Absolutely perfection in all ways ❤️👌👌
I have been playing bugle ,cornet, trumpet, e flat horn, baritone and euphonium for 47 years now and can only dream of achieving such a clear tone. Bravo young lady.
I am an 88 yr old, started playing trumpet also at 13, then for 25 yrs more, a former band leader, and this lady is so clear & so beautiful a sound, only a few on earth posess & she is among the top 10.
This was played at our Nov 11, 2014 Veterans Service in Nova Scotia Canada.....As a 28 year veteran and honoring my Father, Grandfather and 7 other Great Uncles all RYANS.................This was so touching...............LEST WE FORGET. AMEN.

I served 22 years in the British Army and have heard the last post played many times. I am retired now but was out running a few months ago using an old ipod that had about 4000 songs on it. This tune came up and I found myself running with tears in my eyes!
Being ex RAF (1961-1975) I have heard 'The Last Post' played before, and every time no matter if a band, solo player etc., like this young girl, always makes my eyes water. It is just a tune that always reminds me of those lost in wars, and this young girls play it beautifully.
Thanks for listening this piece of music. Actually, this is not the "solemn version" (2 min. long max.), on this occasion it is a bit "sweetened" by harp and orchestra. It bear the name of "Silence", and it is used by Italian Army as "Memorial (of dead soldiers)".
The Last Post ! Never, ever, heard it so refined ! Utter skill. Wish I could have that played at each of my parents funerals. BUT not just funerals it was beautiful in its own right. TALENT !
this dear child is like a robot to play with increasing perfection and STILL the heart rending magic such as her skill creates. God Bless you dear wonderful child and deep gratitude for this bittersweet sound. Im in tears right now.
Saw her play this live when she was just 13 years of age. I was completely stunned at how emotional I got that someone so young has such incredible talent.
Dedicado a todos mis hermanos Paracaidistas caídos en combate o bajo el salto de la seda..Sobre nosotros Dios ..con nosotros la Victoria..en nosotros el Honor . TRIUNFAR O MORIR ..BRIGADA PARACAÍDISTA
Came to hear this version of her playing as I saw her play when she was much younger. Both are equally beautiful and she has grown into a beautiful young lady.
I absolutely adore this tune as it raises so many emotions and I’ve heard it from several different players, but got to say that this lass does an extremely superb rendition, well done 🎼👌
Al Smith first, I want to thank you for your service, sir. I was curious, is this played exclusively at Navy funerals or is it customary for all branches?
@@mtnviper1963 not Al Smith but e34 years total service. Taps written in 1863 or 64 by General Butterfield(I think that’s the name), for his son who was killed at one of the Virginia battles.
Solo un' ARTISTA così può suonare in modo tale ,che nel TEATRO c'è un silenzio assordante, tutti concentrati sulla musica.L' ORCHESTRA è fondamentale mentre accompagna,il suono della tromba dandole maggior risalto.NEL FINALE è tutto UN APPLAUDIRE per i risultati ottenuti.QUESTA È MUSICA ,ma anche un ricordo.GRANDI .
I have played the trumpet myself since 1981 and also Il Silenzio. It's one of the most delicate pieces there are on trumpet and besides that I used to play this solo myself in my former band, I've heard it being played literally hundreds of times by hundreds of players. But never, never like Melissa. There's only one possible definition for this, and that is: perfection. Absolute sheer perfection. Technically and emotionally. There is just one person that can bring tears to my eyes with this piece...and that's Melissa Venema. BRAVA!!!
Que bello el sonido de la trompeta cuánta dulzura le das al instrumento inspirado en algo mágico que llega a lo más profundo del corazón y conmueve el alma. Abrazos Melissa desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷. Dios te bendiga muchísimo. Algún día no pierdo las esperanzas de estar en tu concierto.....
Belíssima. Me sinto nas nuvens quando ouço alguém tocar, na minha pré juventude queria ter aprendido a tocarr mas não consegui. Mas agradeço a Deus 🙏🙏 por estar ouvindo aos que tocam e maravilhosamente bem.
Lindo demais, sou do Brasil, essa música tocou no velório da minha mãe, me lembro com profunda tristeza....mas foi uma linda homenagem, com um músico que tocou muito bem também. Parabéns vc toca com a alma.🌹

You young lady are absolutely amazing , their are so many beautiful versions of this. I have the Nini Rosso version in my playlist although your version is softened by other beautiful instruments you really are a master at work, you brought a tear to this big tattooed lumps eye .
Bravo ! .Bravo ! Melissa Venema you played that like a professional musician . I wish you a bright & successful future as a professional musician . Bellisimo !
I have listened to this so many times. I have also compared to many others. A long time ago I could play this myself... but never to this degree of perfection. If you have never played a trumpet you will not understand just how good Melissa is! Brilliant is the minimal word. If only time could stand still so that we never had to lose the genius people in this world.
Absolutely stunning, i'm speechless, and this was nearly ten years ago... Who knows how much better Melissa is now if that is possible... Love the song, Love Melissa playing it even more...
Parabéns! É tudo o que sei dizer nesse momento, enquanto as lágrimas rolam por minha face. Congratulations! That's all I can say right now as tears roll down my face.
I was a kid on vacation with my family at Lake Garda, Italy in the early sixties. At the campground they would play this when it was time to settle down the campground for the night. Beautiful then, still beautiful today.
This beautiful piece of music gives me that nostalgia when it was played in our graduation ceremony in basic training at Ft Jackson during the vietnam war. Many of the graduating class were shipped to Vietnam after that and have never heard from them again in my 28 years of military service.
I. To have played this many many times by different artists 👏👏 by far you have taken us all to a very emotional tearful place. You play with such emotion Melissa 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

The Italian great trumpeter Nini Rosso must be very happy to listen to her playing this masterpiece so magnificently...
Rosso era un uomo
As an old veteran of 25 years service...boy to man...everytime I hear this..and the Last Post..
I cry unashamedly...just because..
Brings tears to my eyes every time I here her play , not ashamed to say , stunning, absolutely.
Brings tears to my as well every time and I'm 76.xx
I have been playing bugle ,cornet, trumpet, e flat horn, baritone and euphonium for 47 years now and can only dream of achieving such a clear tone. Bravo young lady.
I played the cornet for a short time in the 1960s and i listen to this very talented young lady and can only dream of what might of been
She is excellent and very talented

Et voici Melissa Venema à 17 ans jouant Il Silenzio. Elle a un don vraiment exceptionnel. C'est magnifique ! . Merci pour cette très belle musique.
The real reason she plays so well is she feels the music. As any musician worth his salt should. Bravo young lady.
It's the only song she knows..... she started playing it publicly when she was only 13 years old.

Why would anyone give this moving piece played so well , a thumbs down ??
According to Norwegian legend trolls have only inverted thumbs.
Because they dont have the money to buy a trumpet. They only play a birthday plastic whisle.
Because its an Italian tune.
Tone is so pure it gave me chills.
