Thomas Duncan u said it right... to be proud of your country . u must have a country.. that was the cause of this battle... they all fought together .. we honor those that sacrificed their life and grief with the family for their lost.. whatever gave for winning this battle... blessed those that fought in this battle
Wow!!! that was worth listening to the whole 5 minutes. The people of the Netherlands truly appreciate what our men and women did for them. More than I can say for many Americans today. God bless you Netherlands.
Oh So Beautiful I miss my mum and dad ..... this just reminds me of their HONOR and RESPECT as WWII Veterans .... Blessings to ALL who ARE or HAVE Served your Country

Jeder Vater würde stolz sein und jeder Mensch mit gesunden menschenverstand, es ist so wunderschön man kann es kaum beschreiben in so einem alter es so gut zu können. Hut ab! Mir kommen die tränen, es war sehr schön anzuschauen und anzuhören.
Lacrime agli occhi, pelle d'oca, mi si sono rizzati tutti i peli, eccezionale ragazza, mi fa ricordare i bei tempi del servizio militare a Milano, del 5° scaglione 1982 caserma Montello, Bravissima.
Très grande interprétation de cette jeune enfant de 11 ans a l'époque,Melle Mélissa Venema,merci Monsieur Rieu de nous faire partager tant de belles choses.
I 1st heard this piece about 6 yrs ago. I don't remember how I came across it, but I did & from the 1st time I was totally enthralled. I'm an old Vietnam Vet & spent most of my life working with The Dept of Defense. This rendition made me think of "TAPS". Now that I've read the history of "II Silenzio", Operation Market Garden, 8,301 American Military Grave Sites being tended by the residence of this Holland Town, & the Meaning & significance is magnified 1,000 times. Thank You to the People of Maastricht, Holland, The Netherlands, This is one of the most Beautiful Tributes for anything I've ever experienced. I look forward to sharing this with my friends, family & Veterans as far as I am able to reach. Thank You.
@ Ron Lamberston ...THANK YOU SIR for giving us FREEDOM and others , I believe to you this piece is meaningfull may God give you Peace and special place in his garden when times comes ,for the sacrifice and devotion you gave to fight evil. May God bless people from Holland /Maastricht for recognition and respect they give to our heros .
After some years now, I think we can say she's a worldwide sensation. Had it not been for RUclips We would not have been graced by this young lady's wonderful abilities.
This song is a happy joyful song. It's beautiful and yes Jan Jorissen we do take things for granted and how beautiful our world really is. It's amazing who she can reach the high notes. This video is not to be taken for granted.
This was the most moving trumpet piece I have ever heard. It brought a tear to me eye listening and thinking about the loss of all those brave soldiers !!! - RIP Brave Men of WW2.
Comment thanks to +Jim O'Hanlon About six miles from Maastrich. in the Netherlands lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-5. Everyone 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, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annualy 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", 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.
I don't believe anyone who has not played the trumpet could fully appreciate the skill that this little girl has. So beautiful, so talented as to bring tears to your eyes in admiration of that talent. Thank you, little one.
Thank you so much. As Americans we are NOT perfect but our Lord Jesus the Christ, Messiah of Israel IS. It was for freedom the Pilgrims gave up all to find a land where they could worship Jesus Christ FREELY. As a 9/11 Family and United States Veteran I want to thank Melissa Venema and the people of Holland who love our United States Armed Forces who LIBERATED their nation Holland. Freedom is NEVER FREE. Please remember my nation America, stand with us for the Almighty to grant us a great awakening. We are in desperate need of a mighty move of God. God bless you Holland. We The American People love you!
Es una de las más hermosas melodías del universo entero. Es una inspiración divina que llama al desprendimiento, a la despedida de lo mundano. Es una composición que remueve las profundas fibras del alma y nos concentra en lo verdaderamente Esencial que es Dios. Es una remembranza de aquello que tuvimos y que se fue, pero es la esperanza de que siempre permaneceremos unidos y de que nada se pierde, sólo toma otras formas. Dios bendiga a su compositor, a través del cual la Inteligencia Divina se inspiró.
Gotta hand it to Germany, producing some of this planet's most talented children. I'm anxious to follow their careers in the arts/orchestra/voice. Bravo!!!
gran bella music ! Incredibile !Emozionante al Massimo! Mamma mia ! ( il Silenzio ) in una interpretazione sublime! Fa venir la pelle d oca ..Straordinaria !!!!!!!
Браво 👏, дорогая! Ты талантище и не дуешь в трубу изо всех сил, вызывая резкий звук, который нарушает мелодию! Волшебно звучит твоя 🎺 труба, браво!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
with over 4 million views of this girl playing this instrument, certainly speaks for itself does it not? It takes great courage to stand in front of an audience and play like this, I saw this program on Sky Arts not only do I have a following of Andrea, but this girl is excellent and deserves the standing ovation she got
A melodia é linda recordando homenagens aos grande homens da história, a trompetista é maravilhosamente talentosa, André rieu com todo amor pela arte é um excelente maestro com sua orquestra sinfônica perfeita! Obrigada por compartilhar momentos de amor e ternura! ❤❤🎉🎉
I am stunned and just realized i that i was crying.......crying seeing how much this little ANGEL has put So Much Effort just to make Our time Useful and Worth. Hats of to YOU darling Angel. God Bless You................
this song was the openings song of my mom's funeral. i still mis her every day. and listening to this song makes me cry and gives me goosbumps. Iris semper im pectore meo, I Always have you in my heart.
André Rieu é magnífico em todas as suas apresentações, todas as músicas (in concert) esta apresentação in trumpet player é simplesmente emocionante. Ademar de OLIVEIRA Rocha
absolutely stunning , it brings a tear to my eyes ,my parents i remember in the sixties , talking about this song ,and i remember it on the radio as a child ,ive always liked it ,ive only been on line a few months and i googled it,and came up with Melissa Venemas version ,it is Absolutely beautiful and so Powerful ,thank you Melissa for your version ,Thankyou
There was a day when children aspired to greatness such as this. Please help your children to challenge themselves like this remarkable young lady. It seems like all we get on the telly these days is doom and gloom, or filth. The same bunch of criminals run the news as run the entertainment industry. This child shows us that great works are still within our reach, if only we stand against those that would wrench this beauty from our futures. Bravo Mellissa!
For some reason Ennio Morricone copied this song and took credits for it in American Sniper as the end song Funeral. The music fits that scene in the movie perfectly , and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it , this version by Melissa is so beautiful.
+janbouli ok,from what I learn,"il silenzio" was composed by Nini Rosso(1964),after he watched the funeral of JF Kennedy I think a year earlier(first live event ever on tv)where the US Army paid tribute,like always in a military funeral,playing "taps" (composed during the american civil war).......now Ennio Morricone used/composed few years later(still in the mid-60)his own version of "il silenzio" for an italian western movie (I think called "Ringo" something...)........now in "american sniper" Eastwood just used Morricone version..........
Re "pre9120's comments" - As a veteran myself, who grew up with Rosso's "Il Silenzio", I can only say that what Melissa accomplished here was to bring tears to my soul - And, to remind me of "those who have fallen". For that, and that alone, the young lady needs to be commended. And then some.
having been in the Italian Army, like my father and grandfather, this sound make me cry every time, this music makes me proud of my past, both personal and family, it reminds me a lot of people, a lot of friends, as it was written "brothers in arms", some are dead, others injured, this music in particular, reminds me of all of them as we were still together. Thanks Melissa, for me to remember them all yet.
thanks to Wikipedia I've got this info on the trumpet solo ..if it sounded "familiar" it's because you probably know as TAPS....Here's Wiki: "its thematic melody being an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky to open his Capriccio Italien (often mistaken for the U.S. military bugle call "Taps".) It has become a worldwide instrumental standard, which has sold around 10 million copies." Apparently Tchaikovsky heard a bugle solo from the barracks next door to the hotel he lived in Rome.
I felt like enjoying/crying about/listening to this piece together with my grandmother who died 5 years ago. I thank you, young Melissa Venema, for bringing these angel sounds to my ears, my granny wouldn't want anything more than her grand children remembering her with the beauty of life and music. Thank you,
Oh Wow Complete perfection Again and Melissa simply just kicks complete ass...abit of a rough compositure... This Woman just rocks the Earth and takes everyone with her.. I Love You Melissa
the innocence of a child really captures this piece. It just resonates so much more, hitting all the right places of the heart and brain, places I didn't even know about.
All I can say is this is the most hauntingly beautiful way I have ever heard it. The whole way through I felt as though everyone listening was sadly remembering someone they had lost. Total stillness throughout the crowd. Amazing skill from such a young beauty. When I go......if she could be the one....
The smile that tries to come to her lips when she knows that she has hit that last high note perfectly almost messes her up...but doesn't! Absolutely beautiful! The audience seemed completely mesmeriszed!
Oh My Gosh!!! She just melts my heart, she is absolutely fantantasic. I hope she,,,, she can do more fantastic music. I absolutely love. I Think she would Make Nini Rosso proud for the remake of this (His) beautiful tune. Larry, Vancouver, B.C, Canada
This video absolutely deserves every one of those 3,245,668 views!!
WONDERFUL!!!
My husband, Mark loved this rendition by Melissa very much. He would listen to it over and over. Honey, I hope you are listening from Heaven tonight... To a great man, loving husband and father. You are missed. Rest In Peace Mark "Gunner" Martinez, a true hero and warrior. 29 December 1951 - 30 June 2011. Ride Forever Free...
Love you always baby,

It gives hope for the human race when a child shyly steps out of her dreams and makes music like this for the rest of us.
Too bad we Americans now lack the dignity to do something like this...
My Dad dropped the 82nd in Market Garden.
THANKS!!!

I watched Melissa at the week-end, her playing is beautiful. Andre Rieu encourages young people, which I think is great and generous of him.
Despite her endless training she manage to play with her soul! That is a rare treat these days!!! Bravo!

Beautiful, as a former Cornet player with a high quality tone as Melissa has, she is so young and worth listening to over and over
Such a darling talented girl. I hope she still plays trumpet. Bless her. I loved it when she played together with Rene and Roger. Fabulous!

Just BEAUTIFUL. Thank you Melissa Venema !

Das Trompetenstück überhaupt. Ein richtiges Gänsehautlied .Danke Nini Rosso...!
Hermoso, magnífica chica la que toca la trompeta,
:-):'(
absolutely stunning , it brings a tear to my eyes ,my parents i remember in the sixties , talking about this song ,and i remember it on the radio as a child ,ive always liked it ,ive only been on line a few months and i googled it,and came up with Melissa Venemas version ,it is Absolutely beautiful and so Powerful ,thank you Melissa for your version ,Thankyou
A música tem nela um mistério....nos faz mais seres humanos e nos possibilita esvaziar-nos de nós mesmos e querer mais a DEUS.
There was a day when children aspired to greatness such as this. Please help your children to challenge themselves like this remarkable young lady. It seems like all we get on the telly these days is doom and gloom, or filth. The same bunch of criminals run the news as run the entertainment industry. This child shows us that great works are still within our reach, if only we stand against those that would wrench this beauty from our futures. Bravo Mellissa!
For some reason Ennio Morricone copied this song and took credits for it in American Sniper as the end song Funeral. The music fits that scene in the movie perfectly , and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it , this version by Melissa is so beautiful.

thanks to Wikipedia I've got this info on the trumpet solo ..if it sounded "familiar" it's because you probably know as TAPS....Here's Wiki: "its thematic melody being an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky to open his Capriccio Italien (often mistaken for the U.S. military bugle call "Taps".) It has become a worldwide instrumental standard, which has sold around 10 million copies." Apparently Tchaikovsky heard a bugle solo from the barracks next door to the hotel he lived in Rome.
Tak to prawda. Pozdrawiam. Eddy Calver wykonuje to mistrzowsko, słucham jego wykonania od 50 lat
This is NOT Taps. Il Silenzio was written by Nino Rosso in 1965.
Paráda, krása hudby, zde zní. Mám radost, že jsou mezi námi lidé, kteří chápou
lidské možnosti i a krásu bytí i bez násilí.
Fantástica intrepretación de esta niña.
If music brings peace to the world, then let it be played loudly. Bravo young girl...Bravo x
What is the young lady's name? I've heard this many times, but it never fails to leave me in awe.
Melissa Venema
Thanks, Phil.
Melissa Venema from Holland .. she's 13 years old. What a talent huh?
Linda Casey She is now 19 years old.
I felt like enjoying/crying about/listening to this piece together with my grandmother who died 5 years ago.
I thank you, young Melissa Venema, for bringing these angel sounds to my ears, my granny wouldn't want anything more than her grand children remembering her with the beauty of life and music.
Thank you,

She touched my Heart with that, remembering my mates who died for nothing,
In the British Army.
the innocence of a child really captures this piece. It just resonates so much more, hitting all the right places of the heart and brain, places I didn't even know about.
