This reminds me of my son who saw action in Afghanistan and I thank God every day that he came home, but it also brings a deep feeling of sadness for those who did not return to their loved ones. This should be played regularly to remind us that in spite of all the reminders of what war does, countries still insist on fighting their neighbour... and for what...

Obbiettivamente questa versione di A. Rieu del silenzio fuori ordinanza ( grazie al debutto nel 1966 del trombettista italiano, Nini Rosso) è la migliore in assoluto che io abbia ascoltato, .
Eccellente e superba prestazione al limite della perfezione.
Complimenti a chi sa dare un valore aggiunto alla musica.

Diese Melodie wurde am Grab meiner Mutter gespielt, war ihr letzter Wunsch, seit dem höre ich es sehr oft 🙏

Played, upon request of my dad, at his funeral, 2 years ago today. This piece would have me in tears even without that.

I first heard this song about 50 years ago and have been trying to find it ever since then. I thought it was so beautiful, but I wasn't sure of the title, and no one know what song I was talking about. I'm so happy that I finally found it today. It literally brought tears to my eyes.

Who wouldn't be struck by the simplicity, the poignancy, the magic of such a beautiful trumpet solo with Andre's rendition?

[jackhutube]

I've heard many times, "If they don't play this at my funeral, I'm not going."

This was originally done by Nino Rossi check it out it was also used as the ending soundtrack in the movie Sniper...a truly beautiful tune...when I was a kid I would put 10 cents in the jukebox and play it...And everyone would stop and look at me...the early sixties..❤

My moms best friend recently passed away. She received the news while a radio station was playing this song, she franticly managed to recover the title and mentioned to me there couldn't have been a more beautiful piece of music to receive such devastating news.

Choro triste com saudades por todos que já se foram, mais choro com alegria de Deus ter me dado a oportunidade de ter vivido alguns momentos com pessoas maravilhosas, obrigado senhor pela minha existência.
