Orchestra--"1812" Overture (Tschaikowsky), H.M.V, records ©1280/1. Synopsis :-This overture, originally written in celebration of the consecration of the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow, commemorates the withdrawal of Napoleon from Moscow in 1812, when, after he had occupied the Kremlin, the inhabitants fired the city and drove the French general from the city. As originally planned, the overture was to be played out of doors, in the public square in front of the Cathedral, by an orchestra of grand dimensions, reinforced by volley@ of artillery and a full military band for the finale. ‘The score of this overture was completed by Tschaikowsky at Kamanka in 1880. This "1812" overture is by far the most widely-known of the Russian composer’s music, and a few words. will suflice to describe the general plan of its structure and suggest its gorgeous display of orchestral resources. Three easily recog-. nised themes form the principal material of the overture, the first (the one with which it opens with violas and violin-cellos in solemn harmony) being taken from the Russian hymn, "God Preserve Thy People," the second the French ‘"Marseillaise,’" and the third the Russian National Anthem. ‘The introduction to the overture is slow and solemn, the theme being the Russian hymn mentioned. Then comes the approach and gradual apparent victory of the French (the "Marseillaise’) rising higher and ringing clearer, until suddenly everything is overwhelmed in a mighty uproar, out of which the opening theme emerges triumphantly, now most sonoriously scored for the full orehestra. A boistrous coda, with the Russian National Anthem in the bass and the chiming of the Cathedral bells, then brings the overture to a crashing close.
