Торжественная увертюра «1812 годъ», соч. 49, in English, The Year 1812 Solemn Overture, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture, is a concert overture in E♭ major written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to commemorate the successful Russian defense against Napoleon's invading Grande Armée in 1812.
The piece begins with the simple, plaintive Russian melody of the Eastern Orthodox Troparion of the Holy Cross (also known as "O Lord, Save Thy People"). This represents the Russian people praying for a swift conclusion to the invasion. Then, the French National anthem, "La Marseillaise", is heard, representing the invading French army. Then, the melody of "La Marseillaise" is heard competing against Russian folk music, (such as U Vorot, Vorot, a folk song brought up in the piece) representing the Russian people representing the two armies fighting each other as the French got closer and closer to Moscow. At this point, five cannon shots are heard, representing the Battle of Borodino. This is where "La Marseillaise" is most prominent, and seems to be winning. After this, a long descending run represents the French army retreating out of Moscow as the freezing winter rages on. At the end of this run the hymn that the piece begins with is repeated. This can be interpreted as prayers being answered. The grand finale culminates with eleven more cannon shots and the melody of God Save the Tsar!

One of my ancestors was forced to fight in Russia in 1812, and came back alive. Most men did not. Napoleon might have been a military genius to a certain point, but Europe was very thankful to Russia to liberate it from "the monster" as he was called in the first half of the nineteenth century.

15:09 I am so pleased that a picture of HIH Nicholas appears just as "God Preserve the Tsar" plays. God rest and look over him and his family.

How fitting as Bozhe Tsarya Khrani starts, it has a picture of Nicholas. Truly God save the Tsar!

We play this annually at our July 4th (Independence Day) concert with our Civic Band in my small town in midwest USA. It's become a tradition in many places here. As an American Orthodox Christian, I was surprised to see the translation of the lyrics!

8:51 - This part of the song is heard in the Little Einsteins episode, Fire Truck Rocket, where Leo is trying to use Fire Truck Rocket’s Rescue Ladder to obtain the key from the Shadow Giant to unlock the gate.
