13 Year Old Girl Playing Il Silenzio (The Silence) - André Rieu

[@dougdrury1575]

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.

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.

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 KZbin video's.

I have no words to express my feelings listening again and again and again at this extraordinary played peace of music by this wonderful girl. The gesture she makes at the end to the audience meaning, I think, "frome me to you, thanks you for listening and goodbye" is heartbreaking beautiful. It is so mooving. Thank you so much dear Melissa and Mr Rieu.

This piece was the most moving I have ever heard it played. The young girl felt the music, understood it, and drove it straight into my heart.

It brings tears to my eyes and I feel so emotional why. I have never heard a trumpet played so well so sweet.Beautiful.

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..
