Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is amongst the most energising of compositions. It was written to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon by Russia and his ignominious retreat from Moscow.
This is a new arrangement for brass band by Robert Childs and, although the arrangement is shorter in duration than the original, it doesn't fluctuate from the original key structure making this version the most authentic to date.
The arrangement features full orchestral percussion including tubular bells and canon together with optional organ and fanfare brass groups.
