Taps Trumpet Music
|
While the taps trumpet music is traditionally played by a trumpet or bugle, I was asked by a reader for a piano version that could be played in church to honor our veterans. I hope this arrangement will be satisfactory. Because of the left hand chords with rhythm, it can potentially sound more martial than restful. Play it slowly and quietly, though, and the inherent dignity of the melody will still be felt.

Wikipedia has a very good page about the origin of taps, plus the taps sheet music for trumpet written in the key of C, an octave higher than I have it here for piano players. There are also more taps lyrics at Wikipedia.
But here is a very informative video about the history of taps:
This music means a lot to military families. When my father, a former Marine who fought in Korea, died several years ago, a young military trumpet player was flown in to play Taps at his graveside service, courtesy of the U.S. military. We really appreciated that gesture, and will never forget those moments.
