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

LL> "Taps" is derived from "Last Post" by Daniel Butterfield,
LL> which was composed in 1801.  "Taps" is the shortened
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.
