Etymology:
Meaning:
A musical call or signal, typically played on a bugle or trumpet, that is used to awaken military personnel in the morning.
Origin:
The term "reveille" originated in 17th-century France, where it referred to the daily call that signaled the end of the night watch and the beginning of the day. The call was originally played on a drum, but it was later adopted by military bands and played on brass instruments.
In the United States, reveille was first used in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The melody was based on a French trumpet call, and it was typically played around sunrise to wake the troops.
Today, reveille is still used by military forces around the world as a morning call. The melody and instrumentation may vary depending on the country and branch of service, but the purpose remains the same: to awaken personnel and prepare them for the day ahead.
