Most of the songs on this list have been used so many times,on soundtracks for movies and television shows, that we know them by heart. I’ve heard them all a million times (except for Zombie Nation, which is apparently big with hockey fans), yet I was surprised to find that I only knew half the song names on the list. See how well you do, and if you knew them all you get a gold star!
Conductor/composer Andre Rieu showcases Il Silenzio (commonly known as a variation of Taps) with trumpet solo by 13 year old Melissa Venema. The song is much more beautiful when played in its entirety, as opposed to what we hear in movie funeral scenes. This is probably the most peaceful five minutes you’ll have all day.
