1812 Overture

Title: "1812 Overture" (Excerpt) Composer: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1880) Derived from a MIDI sequence by Daniel L. Viens (1999) (MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) Instrument: Hauptwerk Player Organ from: My own CODM organ (CODM stands for Custom Organ Design Module) Also: Various percussion samples (including cannons) from East/West Just in time for the USA Fourth of July celebration! This piece has become associated with celebrations and fireworks. I have used just the final four minutes of the piece. This version is a bit different from the one usually heard. This is the version that replaces the theme "God Save the Tsar" with the hymn "Glory, Glory to you, Holy Rus.'" The theme was changed after the death of the Tzar and the Russian revolution occurred. This theme starts at about 2:57. The original theme is most often heard since 1990. The percussion samples included here are: Timpani, Bass Drum, Cymbals, and of course, some cannons. From Wikipedia: ---------------------------------------------------------- The Year 1812, festival overture in E♭ major, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture, is an overture written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to commemorate Russia's defense of its motherland against Napoleon's invading Grande Armée in 1812. It has also become a common accompaniment to fireworks displays. The overture debuted in Moscow on 20 August 1882, conducted by Ippolit Al'tani under a tent near the then unfinished Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, which also memorialized the 1812 defense of Russia. The overture was conducted by Tchaikovsky himself in 1891 at the dedication of Carnegie Hall. The overture is best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire, ringing chimes, and brass fanfare finale. After the Russian Revolution the Tsar's anthem melody was replaced until 1990 with the chorus "Glory, Glory to you, holy Rus'!" (Славься, славься, святая Русь!) from the finale of Mikhail Glinka's opéra A Life for the Tsar. ---------------------------------------------------------- (Headphones will give the best listening results.)
