The 1812 Overture (one of my favorites) was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1882 to commemorate Russia’s defense of Moscow from Napoleon’s army at the Battle of Borodino in 1812. No less than 16 cannon shots are composed into the 1812 Overture, and if you ever have the chance to hear it outdoors with real cannons, don’t miss it.
