“Il Silenzio” is a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. It was written by Nini Rosso and Guglielmo Brezza.
The clarity of that young lady’s trumpet playing pierces your soul with beauty, a joyful noise, which enraptured me as it did all who were listening to her live performance. Wonderful!
If you listen to this, turn it up!

I agree, turn it up and listen to the clarity. She is an accomplished trumpet player.

The hawks are power gliding and the owls hoot away in the forest as dinner scraps set the table for their prey, a woodpecker sounds like a machine gun while an eagle flies along the river treetops.

This first appeared on the net a number of years ago. I e-mailed it to everybody in my address book and watched it at least 20 times. Here is another splendid performance by a 13 year old Norwegian girl.
I am always thrilled to see talent in young people. I love nothing more.
The Netherlands commemorates the 20th anniversary of their liberation. By…my neighbor, Joe E, Mann. He was literally a couple of farms over, but that is about 5 miles away. He parachuted into combat; Operation Market Garden, and a Screaming Eagle private. A private whose shooting skill was developed hunting squirrels, coyotes, and deer. He killed and got killed there to liberate the Dutch and the low countries, and then received: the Medal of Honor.
Fast Forward til now, and you have youth making magic with instruments. It’s a full circle.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
