Tchaikovsky was commissioned by Nicolas Rubinstein in 1880 to write a festive and patriotic piece to coincide with the Moscow Cathedral of the Savior(built to commemorate the liberation of the Russians from the 1812 Napoleonic invasion), there already existed a body of precedent for the use of brass band, church bells, and cannon together with symphony orchestra. Plans seems to indicate open-air performance in the great square before the Kremlin, with the cannon to be fired by electrical signal from the conductor's desk, while at a given signal the bells of the new Cathedral, together with the hundreds of bells hung in all the other Kremlin churches and towers, were to add thier festive clamor to the whole grand uproar. However,the Cathedral consecration took place in the summer 1881 minus Tchaikovsky's music. It was Edward Napravnik who finally conducted the premiere of the Overture 1812 during ad all-Tchaikovsky concert at the Moscow Exhibition-presumably under normal concert hall conditions.

Nuclear Tests to the 1812 Overture
Note: people are taking this video way too seriously and reading way more into it than they need to. This is just a video of some enormous explosions - the largest mankind has ever produced. Everyone loves explosions, right? They're eyecandy and pretty damn impressive. These were tests, nobody was hurt directly by these. Yes, we can have a long debate about what the long term concequences of the fallout are and we can turn this into a big argument over the United States' place in the world, the Soviet Union, the Cold War, Hiroshima, the ethics of having nuclear weapons at all, the enviornmental impact of tests, the validity of nuclear weapons as a deterrent, Hiroshima, Nagasaki etc etc etc... DON'T BE THAT GUY! Just enjoy the goddamned explosions. You may have seen the 1812 overture done with fireworks before, but here are some REALLY big fireworks. The movie does not account for the fact that it takes time for the sound to get from the explosion to the observer, because it wouldn't look as cool then. And yes..those troops are very close to the explosions. It was not completely understood at the time the consequences of longterm exposure to fallout. Most of them were okay in the long run, but a few had problems. Too bad...

The piece was written to commemorate Russia's defense of Moscow against Napoleon's advancing Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812.

The overture is best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire and ringing chimes. While this piece has no historical connection with United States history, it is often a staple at Fourth of July celebrations. Remember, Remember the 5th of November

1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky)
The Year 1812, Festival Overture in E flat major, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture (French: Ouverture Solennelle, L'Année 1812, Russian: Торжественная увертюра «1812 год», Festival Overture The Year 1812) is an overture written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1880 to commemorate Russia's defense of Moscow against Napoleon's advancing Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812. The overture debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20, 1882 in the Gregorian or NS calendar; the date in the Julian or OS calendar was August 8. The overture is best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire and ringing chimes. On his 1891 visit to the United States, Tchaikovsky conducted the piece at the dedication of Carnegie Hall in New York City. While this piece has little connection with United States history besides the War of 1812 diverting the British, freeing Napoleon to attack Russia, it is often a staple at Fourth of July celebrations, such as the annual show by the Boston Pops and at Washington DC's annual program called A Capitol Fourth. Please enjoy this wonderful overture from the great russian composer of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky! And remember to rate & comment... and of course subscribe ;).
