1965… English Subtitles (cc). #1 Italy #1 Germany #1 Austria #1 Switzerland #2 Australia #8 UK Singles Chart.. Il Silenzo is an instrumental piece, with a small spoken Italian lyric, notable for its trumpet theme. It was written in 1965 by trumpet player Nini Rosso. The song “The Silence” in English is a more recent composition than “Taps.” It is a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands (in WWII). The thematic melody of the song was an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by Tchaikovsky to open his “Capriccio Italien.”
