0:00 Opening theme represents Napoleon advancing his way towards Moscow with a huge army size and devastating weapons. The Russians gathered in churches across the country and prayed. This is represented through the hymn that is played in the beginning. 2:17 The tension rises and it could be heard in the ascending base notes as France gets ever so close to Moscow. In addition, the continuous 16th (not sure, might be 32nd) notes in the background really drives this section foward. The 16th notes represents the distressed Russians rushing to churches to pray and rushing home to be safe. 3:44 The first battle between Russia and France is getting ready to take place as the snare drums are used to keep the marching tempo. The melodies are kind of like the calm before the storm. 4:46 The battle actual starts 6:12 The French national anthem is played to represent how they overwhelmed the Russians and won early vicotires. In the next 6 minutes, the two countries start fighting and as more Russians come out of their homes to fight for their country, Russian melodies become more and more prominent as the French anthem and Russian melodlies go back and forth. 8:10 The folk melody "At the gate, at my gate" is heard. The name is pretty self explanatory :) 9:59 French anthem heard once again 11:10 Once again, "At the gate, at my gate" is heard. 11:30 Notice that after everytime this melody is played (5:24 and 9:03), the French anthem is played right after to show how they are victors in battle. This time however, this is not the case and the melody goes straight into... --> --> ... 12:01. This signifies the turning point of the war where the French start to lost their stronghold and grip against the Russians. The name of the conflict is the Battle of Borodino. This is marked by 5 cannons blasts. 12:16 The descending line marks the French retreat 12:55 The victory celebration is represented through 11 cannon blasts and bells ringing in the background. The melody is an iteration of 'O Lord, Save Thy People' If someone can tell me what's going on at 6:39 that'll be great because it is such a beautiful phrase.

In 1970, at age 18, I made my first trip to Europe. On a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon in June, the London Philharmonic Orchestra played the entire suite in Hyde Park, with actual cannons. There's no one like the British when it comes to pomp and circumstance, and boy, did they! There was some sort of a Royal Guard on horseback, parading around the Park. It was a sight and sound I'll never forget....this Waco girl was struck speechless....and that's saying something. Simply one of the greatest pieces of classical music EVER...
I just recently started learning cannon, its very precise and intricate instrument to play. Update: I will be playing Cannon in the London symphony last friday😀
@@josephvandorpjv A howitzer is a type of artillery.... also this piece is often performed with howitzers due to their reliability and it being in stock.... term is Dutch, but it's a hoover=vacuum situation.
The sad part is that this piece was never truly performed according to the sheets until the mid 20th Century. Tchaikovsky was commissioned to make this celebratory piece for the grand opening of Moscow’s Cathedral, which was erected in honor of the victory during the Napoleonic Wars, it had been in construction for a long time and was finally ready for the grand opening. Cannons were set to fire to signify the Battle of Borodino, and then the Russian Victory, as church bells all over Moscow were to play following the piece. Sadly, shortly before the event Tzar Alexander was assassinated, and so all events were called off, so the piece did not premiere. In 1881 Tchaikovsky was invited to direct this piece at the Carnegie Hall in New York, but no cannons, and no church bells were used. Tchaikovsky died without ever hearing a propper performance of this piece. This however never bothered him. He never actually liked it, regarding it as noisy and exaggerated, not as refined and ellegant as he’d like.
It's crazy to think about that Tchaikovsky never heard the version he wrote on paper. It's also a bit sad, becuase there was so much preparation for than moment and it never happened. He liked it though, so I guess there was really no problem.
So!? does it make him any more legitimate just because he use.. because he used actual .... wait ... no ... what? .. WHAAAAAA!!! OOOOH !!! OOOOOOOOHHH!!!

- Did u hear? Several people died at the last Tchaikovsky concert! - No way! What happened? - I heard one of the 'musicians' turned out to be a loose cannon...
Its a goddamn shame that so many people forget that this piece is about Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, and how well Tchaikovsky portrays both sides through music
My Name Is None of yo Bidness really shitty joke given how the French are the most militarily successful European nation in history and during Napoleon's reign were truly mighty, requiring basically the rest of Europe to ally against France to defeat them.
I don't know if is the same, but here in my country "classical" or "classic" it's a term to identify a period of erudite music, like romantic or baroque. I don't know how it works elsewhere.
Tchaikovsky: "We're gonna need a bigger room." People: "What do you mean?" Tchaikovksy: "You're right, we'll play outside. The cannon wouldn't fit anywhere." People: "WhAt Do YoU MeAn!?"
When our High School Band would play this the cannon were replaced by 12-guage shotguns shooting into a 44-gallon steel barrel backstage. Still very effective.
I remember playing this piece in my high school orchestra in my junior year. For the cannons we had a couple of the kids bang the bass drums as loud as they could! They also played the bells that sounded like church bells!

I bought my first Tchaikovsky music casette at Chennai Madras Mount Road "Stereo Vision". I think 2 casettes of Tchaikovsky I had. It was 1991 to 2021. I kept on listening to Tchaikovsky. The other casette was his Ballet of Swan Lake.... Unforgettable Tchaikovsky... I never know him before... Thanks to Raduga Publishers. Progress Publishers. Moscow. Whose books novels kept me informed about Tchaikovsky. Particularly Leo Tolstoy (Lev Tolstoi) Michael Sholokhov Maxim Gorky Fyodor Dostoyevsky. All above Authors gave me some idea about Russia. Russian Culture. Russian Music. Etc. Long Live Russia. Long Live Tchaikovsky. After 2021 I stopped listening to music tapes casettes. Now a days only digital music. Mp3. MP4. RUclips. Facebook. Digital Media taken over analog casettes music tapes long before like year 2000. But still I Loved. Adored all my music casettes tapes till 2021. Painfully I ended the music casettes tapes relationship. 🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢
HMV issued Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture on a 45 RPM 12” which (fortunately) I purchased just as vinyl was supposed to be dying. Amazing! So is this performance. Thanks for putting it onto RUclips.
It wasn't until 74 years after this piece was first composed that the cannon fire and church bells were played in sync to the rest of the music. Since it was almost impossible to sync up cannons firing and church bells with the rest of the orchestra. In 1954, composer Antal Doráti mixed a studio recording with the sounds of cannons and bells properly synced up the way the piece finally intended. It was the first time since the writing of this piece that the music was finally heard as it was intended to. The reason it was so difficult to do it live was because so many factors like fuse length, type of fuse, where the fuse is lit from, amount of powder in the cannon etc. that determines the delay from lighting to firing a cannon, and church bells are on very long, but variably long ropes and the bells are of different sizes, different types, have different ringing mechanisms and there are different techniques to ringing a church bell which makes it extremely difficult to ring church bells or fire cannons with the precision needed for an orchestra. It was written in 1880, but no one heard how it was supposed to sound until 1954. It's unfortunate that Tchaikovsky wasn't able to hear it, but apparently he hated the 1812 overture.
That’s probably why he hated it then, if it was never played as intended until he was long gone then he never heard his composition, just a mixture of loud noises
Yes. It was to be performed with cannons at its debut in 1881 but Tzar Alexander II was assassinated and plans were changed. They were meant to use the bells of the new cathedral and an electric switchboard to sync the cannons but after the Tzars death, construction of the cathedral was postponed and the performance was delayed until 1882. In 1882 at the performance, the electric switchboard had not been installed as they could not secure the cannons, the brass band was cancelled and the cathedral was not finished, which did not allow for the bells to be used either. Tchaikovsky was not a fan of the piece to begin with and was annoyed that he had been chosen to compose it and was even more annoyed when some of the most important aspects of it were not present.
He always heard it. In his mind, all sounds existed in perfect synchrony as he had envisioned, regardless of the materialization of them. It was us who never really got to truly hear them. Right now we might have an aproximation of his vision, but nothing more :)
So when hen Tchaikovsky uses cannons he’s a musical genius but when I do it I’m scarring the neighbors children, and a hazard to the people in the Walmart.
@@Cystyl Literally Cape Town though! We have all the cannons! Cannons in the castle, cannons by the beach, cannons in the Company Gardens... They'll even let you shoot one of the smaller ones at the castle couryard
I was listening to this in my office while working. I was wearing headphones, of course. When the cannons started blowing full force, my office mate turned and looked at me with an astonished look on his face: “…the heck are you listening to?”. And the volume wasn’t even this high or my eardrums would have been destroyed, but he still heard the freaking cannons 😂

In 1970, at age 18, I made my first trip to Europe. On a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon in June, the London Philharmonic Orchestra played the entire suite in Hyde Park, with actual cannons. There's no one like the British when it comes to pomp and circumstance, and boy, did they! There was some sort of a Royal Guard on horseback, parading around the Park. It was a sight and sound I'll never forget....this Waco girl was struck speechless....and that's saying something. Simply one of the greatest pieces of classical music EVER...

The sad part is that this piece was never truly performed according to the sheets until the mid 20th Century. Tchaikovsky was commissioned to make this celebratory piece for the grand opening of Moscow’s Cathedral, which was erected in honor of the victory during the Napoleonic Wars, it had been in construction for a long time and was finally ready for the grand opening. Cannons were set to fire to signify the Battle of Borodino, and then the Russian Victory, as church bells all over Moscow were to play following the piece. Sadly, shortly before the event Tzar Alexander was assassinated, and so all events were called off, so the piece did not premiere. In 1881 Tchaikovsky was invited to direct this piece at the Carnegie Hall in New York, but no cannons, and no church bells were used. Tchaikovsky died without ever hearing a propper performance of this piece. This however never bothered him. He never actually liked it, regarding it as noisy and exaggerated, not as refined and ellegant as he’d like.
It's crazy to think about that Tchaikovsky never heard the version he wrote on paper. It's also a bit sad, becuase there was so much preparation for than moment and it never happened. He liked it though, so I guess there was really no problem.
😭😭😭😭
@Reunite The British Empire Thanks for the information!
Well, this piece was considered controversial at the time. Not exactly the sounds you imagine for celebratory music.

HMV issued Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture on a 45 RPM 12” which (fortunately) I purchased just as vinyl was supposed to be dying. Amazing! So is this performance. Thanks for putting it onto RUclips.
It wasn't until 74 years after this piece was first composed that the cannon fire and church bells were played in sync to the rest of the music. Since it was almost impossible to sync up cannons firing and church bells with the rest of the orchestra. In 1954, composer Antal Doráti mixed a studio recording with the sounds of cannons and bells properly synced up the way the piece finally intended. It was the first time since the writing of this piece that the music was finally heard as it was intended to.
The reason it was so difficult to do it live was because so many factors like fuse length, type of fuse, where the fuse is lit from, amount of powder in the cannon etc. that determines the delay from lighting to firing a cannon, and church bells are on very long, but variably long ropes and the bells are of different sizes, different types, have different ringing mechanisms and there are different techniques to ringing a church bell which makes it extremely difficult to ring church bells or fire cannons with the precision needed for an orchestra.
It was written in 1880, but no one heard how it was supposed to sound until 1954. It's unfortunate that Tchaikovsky wasn't able to hear it, but apparently he hated the 1812 overture.
When the 1812 overture is written in 1880 and finally gets played as intended in 1950
That’s probably why he hated it then, if it was never played as intended until he was long gone then he never heard his composition, just a mixture of loud noises
Of course it had to be a Hungarian fella. God bless him for that!
Yes. It was to be performed with cannons at its debut in 1881 but Tzar Alexander II was assassinated and plans were changed. They were meant to use the bells of the new cathedral and an electric switchboard to sync the cannons but after the Tzars death, construction of the cathedral was postponed and the performance was delayed until 1882. In 1882 at the performance, the electric switchboard had not been installed as they could not secure the cannons, the brass band was cancelled and the cathedral was not finished, which did not allow for the bells to be used either. Tchaikovsky was not a fan of the piece to begin with and was annoyed that he had been chosen to compose it and was even more annoyed when some of the most important aspects of it were not present.
He always heard it. In his mind, all sounds existed in perfect synchrony as he had envisioned, regardless of the materialization of them.
It was us who never really got to truly hear them. Right now we might have an aproximation of his vision, but nothing more :)
This is the first "heavy metal" music in history.
....good one
So... Listen Winter of Vivaldi
Or "Mars the bringer of War" of Holst
