The Last Post was played every night before lights out in army camps. Reveille is the one played in the morning.
I'm pretty sure the song you're referring to is called "taps". Generally it's played at Military funerals honoring the dead.*addition* "Taps" would only be part, before the moment of silence, it's "The Last Post" that's played, and then afterwards is when "Taps" is played.
The bugle melody commonly played at ANZAC Day ceremonies is The Last Post. It signals the end of the day, so is significant for honouring those who died.Rouse, sometimes called Reveille (although this is the incorrect name), is also played in conjunction with The Last Post, and is played to break the two minutes' silence which follows The Last Post. It symbolises the waking of the dead in the next world.
Always disconnect the negative post first and reconnect it last.
