Cold Spring “Taps” en. Daniel Butterfield, a Civil War Ghero and Medal of Honor winner who retired to his estate in Cold Spring, Cragside (now the Haldane campus), is widely credited as the author of “Taps,” the bugle call traditionally played at military funerals. According to Twenty-Four Notes That Tap Deep Emotions: The History of America’s Most Famous Bugle Call, by Jari Villanueva, “Taps” was a revision by Butterfield of a bugle call that signaled "lights out." He thought it too formal for that purpose and so instructed his brigade bugler to retain the melody but lengthen some notes and Parsonage Street today Photo by M. Turton shorten others. It was first sounded in July 1862. In 1898, Butterfield recalled that “the call General Daniel Butterfield did not seem to be as smooth, melodious Martin Wenzel/ ColorizedPast and musical as it should be, and I called in someone who could write music, and Morning at the Museum: practiced a change in the call until I had it suit my ear.” The bugler said, “The music was beautiful on that still summer night and was heard far beyond the limits of our brigade.” Historical Play Group In the evenings at Cragside, Butterfield could hear the West Point bugler sounding “Taps” across the river. When the general died in 1901, the call was played at his own Tuesday, June 6, 10 - 11a.m. funeral there.
