A MELANCHOLY
BUGLE CALL
As part of the funeral honors ceremony, veterans who have given their lives for their country are entitled to the playing of Taps. Until the Civil War, the easily recognizable “call at day's end," which signaled the extinguishment of fires and lights, was called Lights Out. In the aftermath of the Seven Days battle. Union General Daniel Adams requested a less formal rendition of the call from his brigade bugler to honor his men. The simple and eloquent call that resulted was gradually taken up through the Army of the Potomac. This more powerful and emotive Taps was soon adopted throughout the military, officially recognized by the Army in 1874. It became the standard at military funeral ceremonies in 1891.
