Audio of SGM Woody English, U.S. Army Band, playing Taps.
Here's an interesting site on the history of the bugle call, Taps, played at military funerals and memorial events.
And some of the verses often set to the twenty-four notes:
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.
