1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky ( Mercury Living Presence )
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.

War of 1812 - Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie
**READ THIS. This song is COMEDY. I will no longer bother reading idiotic comments about the historical accuracy, or the rivalry involved. If you can't watch the video with a sense of humor intact, don't waste time watching it at all. Of COURSE it's not historically accurate in it's entirity .. it's not MEANT to be. It's in fun. Lighten up. ** A video to go with the song, War of 1812. I'm still fairly new to the video editting, but I'm having quite a bit of fun practicing, lol. And because it needs to be said, it's not a slight at anyone, country irrelevant ... it's all in fun. :) Edit: Although claimed as Arrogant Worms song in many places online, turns out this is NOT done by arrogant worms, and they have never covered it. Please ignore the title page of the video! At the time this video was made, I was referencing an unreliable source. :)
Nuclear Tests to the 1812 Overture
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...

A USA Military History (Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture)
The United States has had to defend itself and help its neighbors for 230 years, I figured the 1812 would be a quick way to cover most of it up to this year.(NOTE- this video is best viewed on the smallest setting,located bottom right of viewer). If you know your history well then the photo montage will appeal much more.
