Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture Finale (Epic Choral Version With Napoleonic War Paintings)

It's interesting how a piece composed to commemorate Napoleon's defeat has come to be regarded as Napoleon's theme music.

-"Dad, why is my sister's name Elise?" -"Because your mother loves Für Elise" -"Thanks, dad" -"No problem, 1812 Overture (Finale)"

Can we stop for a moment and appreciate the editing that matches the piece?

Man, I remember when Napleon say: It's napoleoning time!

The choral section starting at 3:00 is the Russian National Anthem as it was in 1880, Bozhe Tsarya Khrani (God Save the Tsar), written in the 1830s. It is therefore anachronistic for the time. Of course, the reason Tchaikovsky didn't want to use the 1812-era national anthem is: the tune is identical to God Save the King! (Words were Russian, "God save the Tsar"). A ton of countries used it, too. From Wikipedia: During the 19th century, it was used officially in Sweden,[better source needed] and in Iceland. It was also in official usage for brief periods in Imperial Russia, in Greece and in the Kingdom of Hawaii. In Germany, it was used by the kingdoms of Prussia, Hanover, Saxony and Bavaria, and was adopted as anthem of the German Empire ("Heil dir im Siegerkranz") after unification in 1871. It remains as the national anthem of Liechtenstein, and was used by Switzerland until 1961. So I don't blame Pyotr for going with the modern tune!

Remember remember the 5th of November

As my old teacher would say, this masterpiece gave me "historical orgasms"! Thank you for this showcase!

my uncle died while listening to Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture from heart attack

“Over here!” “Perfect…” “I have orders to pack up and get the last few Parisians out of here.” “Defend the bridge until we sound the bells” “Once we’re finished, we can cover you until one of our ferrymen picks you up” “Good luck!”
