   BK>>This it not actually taps. It's an Italian pop music piece,

    LL> "Taps" is derived from "Last Post" by Daniel Butterfield,

    LL> version, 24 notes, composed in 1862.  "Il Silenzio" is a   
    LL> modern adaptation of "Last Post" - with obvious references   
    LL> to "Taps".  The three songs are not one and the same, but   
    LL> have a most definite resemblance.  :)   
      
    Ok, the resemblance is obvious.
