| | 1812 Overture on the 4th of July |
 | | All in all, I think the 1812 Overture is a terrific piece of music, and especially exhilarating if viewed in its proper historical context. | | | Much of the thematic material was taken from Russian folk songs, as well as the national anthems of the two warring nations. | | | Well, the story happened to come to mind when I saw the annual Boston Pops performance of the 1812 Overture at their 4th of July concert. |

| | Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture DVD-Audio by Karl Lozier |
| | This album is highly recommended, even if you don't care for the 1812 Overture. | | | his, one of the only two Telarc DVD-Audio discs ever released, is of course an updated rerecorded version of their famous 1978 recording of the 1812 Overture. | | | It starts out dirge-like but eventually works into a bit of folk music rhythm and into strong resemblances of the national anthem as heard in his 1812 Overture. |

| | How a rousing Russian tune took over our July 4th |
| | Sometimes it's due to a misunderstanding, as with Bruce Springsteen's anti-war song "Born in the U.S.A." being thought of as a patriotic anthem. | | | That July 4, famed Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler decided to perform the overture with fireworks, real cannons and a coordinated steeple-bell choir to increase attendance at the Pops' summer concerts on the Esplanade, says Bridget Carr, archivist of the Boston Symphony. | | | Telling the story of the end of the French invasion of Russia in musical themes, "La Marseillaise" is eventually beaten back by a rousing Russian anthem and cannon fire and church bells. |
