Best Answer

The music for Taps was designed for the bugle. It replaced the call for extingush lights in the Third Brigade, First Division, Fifth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac as ordered by Union General Daniel Butterfield in July, 1862. Since 1885 it has been played over the graves of US Serviceman.
