Funeral melody in Poland

In POLAND this melody is now (2010) funeral melody. It became funaral melody after 1990, when became funeral melody for elites and big criminalist.

Usually trampeter playing melody on cementary, in distance from grave, after ceremony (church, ecclesial ceremony), when people are around the grave. It is in Rosso interpretation. It is new practice. For this time was no music on Polish cementary, exept big funeral with orchestra. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.17.180.134 (talk) 09:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Origin section

I received in an email the information that's been added to this article as the "Origin" section. I have not been able to verify this though I've been researching it for a couple hours now. It would seem as though the performer, Melissa Venema, is indeed real and performed with Andre Rieu at Maastricht in 2008--at least, according to the long series of YouTube videos saying such.

However, all the other information about the American soldiers, the Liberation Day event info, etc., is something I cannot verify as of yet. And the reference added to that section does not substantiate anything but the performer's identity.

Any help?

I agree that the section on the Dutch origin appears dubious. The source that is provided does not appear to be particularly trustworthy. I shall add a "more citations needed" template.

P.S. To whoever wrote the text that appears below my answer: "Il Silenzio d'Ordinanza" can't have been written in 1911, as it appears in an 1880 composition by Piotr Tchaikovsky. Nikolaj1905 (talk) 07:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

"first played in 1965" sounds a bit strange: it looks like two SP records were already published in Italy in 1964: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_silenzio/Ho_bisogno_di_te https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_silenzio/Via_Caracciolo and a french version was published in 1965 sung by Dalila https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonsoir_mon_amour So it sounds strange the Dutch commissioned a memorial piece to be played on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands and accept to have it published on a vynil record one year in advance. Moreover, "Il Silenzio" by Nini Rosso was based on the military tune "Il Silenzio Fuori Ordinanza" written by General Giovanni Maggiotto in 1911 (itself likely an adaptation of the american "Taps").

Dutch chart success

There needs to be some reference here to the piece's performance on the Dutch Top 40 charts, where the sales and airplay of three versions by different artists (Nini Rosso, Heinz Schachtner and Willy Schobben) were combined to obtain a chart position. Skinsmoke (talk) 12:00, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Possible copyright violation

I have removed a paragraph from Il Silenzio (song) and Operation Market Garden because of possible copyright violation. This paragraph seems to be originally added to these articles in this and this edit in 2014. I was unable to find (using a web search) the original source, but this content has been around the Internet at least since 2010 and it's clear that this removed paragraph was copy pasted from unknown source (maybe from this?)
