The Year 1812, Solemn Overture, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture, [1] is a concert overture in E ♭ major written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The piece commemorates Russia 's successful defense against the French invasion of the nation in 1812.
The overture finishes with a virtuoso coda for the full orchestra. The piece is frequently paired in performance with Tchaikovsky's " 1812 Overture ," which also quotes "God Save the Tsar." In Russia, during the Soviet era , the imperial anthem was replaced in both pieces with the chorus " Glory, Glory to you, holy Rus'!
The 1812 overture complete with cannon fire was performed at the 2005 Classical Spectacular. Among the other works, Capriccio Italien is a travelogue of the composer's time there during his years of wandering and a conscious emulation of the Mediterranean episodes in Glinka's Spanish Overtures.
