I found this and wanted to share it... It's a video but not YouTube.

This is "Taps," the tune many of ended our work day with years ago. But this is 'Taps' as it was never played on any Military base in the past 150 years... This is the 'original' as it was written in 1801.
This version of the original "taps" music is played by a 13 year old Dutch girl named Melissa Venema. The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland. Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety. The original version of Taps was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps.
Melissa Venema is playing it on a trumpet whereby the original was played on a bugle.
