Editing Reveille (section)

==Commonwealth of Nations and the United States==
The tunes used in the [[Commonwealth of Nations]] are different from the one used in the [[United States]], but they are used in analogous ways: to ceremonially start the day. [[Cavalry regiments of the British Army|British Army cavalry]] and [[Royal Horse Artillery]] regiments sound a call different from the infantry versions, known as "[[The Rouse]]" but often misnamed "Reveille", while most [[Scottish regiment]]s of the British Army sound a pipes call of the same name, to the tune of "[[Hey, Johnnie Cope, Are Ye Waking Yet?]]",  a tune that commemorates the [[Battle of Prestonpans]]. For the [[Black Watch]], since the [[Crimean War]], "Johnnie Cope" has been part of a sequence of pipe tunes played at an extended reveille on the 15th of every month known as "Crimean Long Reveille".<ref>{{cite web |title=Customs and Traditions |url=https://www.theblackwatch.co.uk/history-and-research/customs-and-traditions/ |work=Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland|publisher=The Black Watch Museum |access-date=31 August 2018}}</ref>

In modern times, the [[U.S. military]] plays (or ''sounds'') "Reveille" in the morning, generally near sunrise, though its exact time varies from base to base.  On [[U.S. Army]] posts and [[U.S. Air Force|Air Force]] bases, "Reveille" is played by itself or followed by the bugle call "[[To the Colors]]" at which time the [[Flag of the United States|national flag]] is raised and all U.S. military personnel outdoors are required to come to attention and present a [[salute]] in uniform, either to the flag or in the direction of the music if the flag is not visible. While in formation, soldiers are brought to the position of parade rest while "Reveille" plays then called to attention and present arms as the national flag is raised. When in a vehicle, personnel are expected to stop and render honors.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Retreat' and 'Reveille' honors |url=https://www.army.mil/article/64791/retreat_and_reveille_honors |access-date=2023-02-14 |website=www.army.mil |date=2 September 2011 |language=en}}</ref> On board [[U.S. Navy]], [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], and [[United States Coast Guard|Coast Guard]] facilities, "Reveille" is generally sounded separately from morning colors.  "Reveille" is sounded at an earlier time such as 06:00 (6&nbsp;am), and then the flag is generally raised at 08:00 (8&nbsp;am) while "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" or the bugle call "To the Colors" is played. On some U.S. military bases, "Reveille" is accompanied by a [[cannon]] shot.

In Commonwealth [[Remembrance Day]] and [[Remembrance Sunday]] services, and [[ANZAC Day]] services, "[[Last Post]]" begins the period of silent reflection, and "Reveille" ends it. The two tunes symbolize [[sunset]] and [[sunrise]] respectively, and therefore, [[death]] and [[resurrection]]. ("Reveille" is often replaced by "[[The Rouse]]", a bugle call commonly mistaken for "Reveille", although these are actually two different tunes.) Winston Churchill had "Last Post" sounded at [[Death and state funeral of Winston Churchill#Funeral programme|his funeral]], followed by "Reveille", as did [[Death and funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh#Funeral|Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh]] and [[Death and state funeral of Elizabeth II#State funeral|Queen Elizabeth II]].

"To Reveille" or "to sound Reveille" is often used among military personnel as a term meaning "to notify personnel that it is time to wake up", whether the bugle call is actually sounded or not. Units lacking the personnel or equipment necessary to play the tune will often assign the duty to "sound Reveille" to the last watch of the night, who must ensure that others are roused at the proper time, by any appropriate means (often by actually shouting the word ''reveille'' until everyone is awake).

The "Reveille" is still played in all the [[Australian Defence Forces]].  It was originally played by drums.<ref name="AustralianArmyRouseandRev">{{cite web |title=The Rouse and the Reveille|url=http://www.army.gov.au/Our-history/Traditions/The-Rouse-and-the-Reveille |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227100358/http://www.army.gov.au/Our-history/Traditions/The-Rouse-and-the-Reveille |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 27, 2012 |work=Army |publisher=Commonwealth of Australia |access-date=7 July 2013}} </ref>

===Lyrics===
====Australia====
Although there are no official lyrics to "Reveille", these unofficial lyrics for the Commonwealth "Reveille" have been recently{{When|date=April 2023}} popularized:<ref name="AustralianArmyRouseandRev"/>

''{{poemquote|Re-veil-lee! Re-veil-lee is sounding
The bugle calls you from your sleep; it is the break of day.
You've got to do your duty or you will get no pay.
Come, wake yourself, rouse yourself out of your sleep
And throw off the blankets and take a good peek at all
The bright signs of day are here, so get up and do not delay.

Get up!

Or-der-ly officer is on his round!
And if you're still a-bed he will send you to the guard
And then you'll get a drill and that will be a bitter pill:
So be up when he comes, be up when he comes,
Like a soldier at his post, a soldier at his post, all serene.}}''

====British====
The first lines of the British Cavalry "Reveille" were for many years{{When|date=April 2023}} rendered as:

''{{poemquote|Soldiers arise!
Scrub the bloody muck out of your eyes...}}''

The infantry and general "Rouse" ran:

''{{poemquote|Get out of bed,
Get out of bed,
You lazy bastards! (repeat)
I feel sorry for you, I do!}}''

The "Reveille" and "Rouse" are two separate calls which are often confused. The "Reveille" is the first bugle sound of the day to awaken the troops. See the words above, in the Australian section (it is the same as British). The "Rouse" is the second call and, shorter call, sounded after "Reveille" to remind people that they should now be well up and about. On ceremonial occasions,  "Rouse" is often sounded instead of "Reveille" because it is shorter and much easier to play. 
''[[The Goon Show]]'' featured as the introduction of 'Bloodnok's Rock and Roll', the first four bars of the Revelle in 4/4 time, followed by Secombe: "Company 'shun!  Shoulder Arms!  From the right...Number!"...

In the [[Royal Navy]], "Reveille" was usually verbalized, preceded by a blast from the [[bo'sun's call]] as:
''{{quote|Wakey wakey, lash up and stow!}}''  
Often, even in modern times, this was extended with other bits and pieces, often a weather report, and sometimes even comical rhymes thought up by the quartermaster.  An example heard onboard the frigate {{HMNZS|Canterbury|F421}} in 1979 went thus: "Wakey, wakey, rise and shine, get up, get up, the day is fine, the birds are singing, so why don't you?  And if you can't sing then you know what you can do!  Don't turn over...Turn Out!"  (The quartermaster in question was admonished severely by the officer of the day!!)

====United States====
To the U.S. tune:

''{{poemquote|I can't get 'em up,
I can't get 'em up,
I can't get 'em up this morning;
I can't get 'em up,
I can't get 'em up,
I can't get 'em up at all!
:The corporal's worse than the privates,
:The sergeant's worse than the corporals,
:Lieutenant's worse than the sergeants,
:And the captain's worst of all!
(repeat top six lines)}}''

Another set of lyrics to the U.S. tune above:

''{{poemquote|I can't get 'em up
I can't get 'em up
I can't get 'em up this morning;
I can't get 'em up
I can't get 'em up
I can't get 'em up at all!
:And tho' the sun starts peeping,
:And dawn has started creeping,
:Those lazy bums keep sleeping,
:They never hear my call!
(repeat top six lines)}}''

Still another U.S. version goes:

''{{poemquote|You've got to get up
You've got to get up
You've got to get up this morning
You've got to get up
You've got to get up
Get up with the bugler's call
:The major told the captain
:The captain told the sergeant
:The sergeant told the bugler
:The bugler told them all
(repeat top six lines)}}''

Most famous is [[Irving Berlin]]'s comic adaption of the tune and the lyrics in his 1918 song "[[Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning]]", inspired by his experience as a draftee in the First World War.  Recast from the original military 2/4 time to a more swinging 6/8 rhythm, the words

''{{poemquote|
:You gotta get up
:You gotta get up
:You gotta get up this morning}}''

are set to the initial notes of the bugle call, followed by

''{{poemquote|
:Some day I'm going to murder the bugler
:Some day they're going to find him dead;
:I'll amputate his reveille and step upon it heavily,
:And spend the rest of my life in bed.}}''

===Music===
"Reveille" and "Rouse" are composed, like nearly all [[Bugle (instrument)|bugle]] music, solely from the notes of the major [[Triad (music)|triad]], usually [[Musical notation|notated]] in C as: C, the [[Tonic (music)|tonic]]; E, the [[mediant]]; and G, the [[Dominant (music)|dominant]].

Both the Commonwealth and United States "Reveilles" can be played with any combination of valves (or all open valves), because they were first played on a bugle, which lacks valves and plays only notes from the [[harmonic series (music)|harmonic series]].
