Taps
Taps är den amerikanska benämningen på ett kort stycke som spelas vid skymning och vid begravningar, särskilt av den amerikanska militären. Stycket spelas ofta på bygelhorn eller trumpet. (Den svenska motsvarigheten är inte tapto utan snarare signal solenne.)
"Butterfield's Lullaby" som skrevs under inbördeskriget är den vanligaste melodin som används för taps idag ("Butterfields vaggvisa") eller, från stycket första fras, "Day is Done" ("Dagen är över").

Taps on bugle.ogg
Taps played on the bugle by a member of the U.S. Army Band. It is played by the U.S. military nightly to indicate that it is "lights out". Taps became an official component of military funerals in 1874. The song accompanies a funeral procession at Arlington National Cemetery, and is generally present at most funerals.
