- This is a version of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (I had to reduce it a little bit) with a choir singing at the beginning an old russian church chant and the end the former hymn of the Tsar. Please enjoy.
We performed this in our halftime show on the football field at Umass amherst. With the cannons. It was so empowering to perform :)
Really a good version of this masterpiece of classical music!
What a genius this man was...
I wish you had uploaded the full recording. This is the best on youtube.
TERRIFIC!!! NICE !!! I LOVE THIS!
This is one of the most famous Orthodox hymns - the so called Troparion of the Holy Cross:
O Lord, save your people,
and bless your inheritance!
Grant victory to the Orthodox Christians
over their adversaries,
and by virtue of your cross,
preserve your habitation.
@Phusics if u ever read these again..this is actually Igor Buketoff 's version of Tchaikovsky's 1828 Overture, which had no chorus. Honestly, I really enjoy the chorus and I think it completes the piece. In fact, it took me a loooong time to actually find an almost full version with a good choir performance. Thanks!
Finally found the version with the extended chorus at the end
most 1812 Overture performance now has the chorus reduced at the end
I hadn't heard this song with a chorus, it's terrific!
I know! I was really enjoying it and suddenly CUT! And it's the next part. Original uploader, if you have the original please repost now youtube has upped the time limit. And suddenly the fast bit, oh my word, this is going to cause seizures, my keyboard is on fire from typing so fast in rhythm with it, and my brain is beginn...
This is awesome editing. Thanks for sharing.
боже храни русь святую и всех здравомыслящих людей !!!
The talent of these singers is undeniable, but I find the low strings (cello bass and viola) a more powerful and solemn entrance to this piece. Well done abridging the piece. You only used the 2 parts the piece is best known for.
Stupendous!
"Боже, Царя храни!
Сильный, Державный,
Царствуй на славу, на славу нам!"
"God, protect the Tsar!
Strong and stately,
Reign for glory, For our glory!"
omg thank you so much!! :)
Well the 1812 Overture is a mamoth work and the full orchetral version with bells and cannon is perhaps Tchaikovsky's greatest 'bombastic' work. But this version with chorus brings this work to a more sedate and enjoyable work.
As far as I could figure out, the lyrics are:
"Спаси, Господи, люди Твоя, и благослови достояние Твое, победы преснолюбимому воинству и богорадивой державе на сопротивныя даруя, и Твое сохраняя Крестом Твоим жительство."
"O Lord, save thy people and bless Thine heritage. Give victory to the beloved Army and the God-exalting State over their enemies and preserve the place of Thy Cross."
Thank you. I have quoted your lyrics in czcams.com/video/_ZAdEAkUTJU/video.html
No matter how much sense we do... no matter what time we live... HATTERS WILL BE HATTERS ... poor Tchaikovsky.
Yeah that was awesome
This is absolutely brilliant. I am moved to tears by the chorus which is such a natural addition. I have listened to 100's of versions of this piece, but now it only seems complete with the chorus. Can someone provide the complete lyrics for the beginning and end? The orchestration is wonderful. But I still like to hear real field cannon. When the new city Hall was opened in Toronto in the summer of 1962?, the TSO played this piece, with field artilllery and the old City Hall bells.
Amazing...no words...:-O
@spiderlime
You're quite right, any choral version of 1812 Overture is not an original one. As far as I know, the version-with male chorus-to which you're listening at this video was created specially for that concert (and, by the way, it was our choir that took part in it).
The New Symphony Orchestra of London, under the direction of Alexander Gibson, has an excellent performance circa 1960. This recording is for full orchestra, massed brass bands, organ, carillon, Russian church bells & two bronze regimental cannons
This version of 1812 Overture was recorded in February, 1995 at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.
The performers:
- Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra and Vladimir Fedoseyev (conductor and musical director);
- MEPHI Male Choir (the Male Choir of the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute)
Do you have the full version? Please upload it on your channel. I cannot find others performing this version of the finale, with triumphant extended chorus.
while the original score (late 1800's) did indeed use hymns it did not have a choral version (that is to say Tchaikovsky did not write it to be sung by a choral sectionbut rather by the strings) the "choral versions" are an arrangement by Igor Buketoff in the mid-late 1900's. As to how closely the arrangement's lyrics follow the hymns I am uncertain of but the scores are public domain. The names of the hymns are: "God Preserve Thy People", and "God Save the Tsar"
Love it
Exelente ejecucion me gusto el ,espero que puedas postear la pista original con toda su duracion me gustaria ecuchar esta vercion completa saludos desde Mexico
y gracias
for some years i was certain that the choral version was the original one. apparently the choral parts were added only later on, possibly not by tcheikocsky himself.
@brovandsisproduction
They probably don't dislike the music, they just dislike the cuts the poster chose.
@SirSmok3Alot225 If this is a Buketoff perf, it isn't the one I bought on RCA about 40 years ago. That one is still the only one with full choruses, including a children's chorus (at 3:00 on this abridged), and they were the most Russian-sounding non-Russian choruses (Brits as I recall) I've heard. The only problem was, his cannon were weak, sounded like rugs being pounded on a backyard line. The finale is posted elsewhere, check it out.
I don't know which version this is, but I can recommend a recent Telearc DSD multiChannel version (which plays well on a normal stereo player). Telearc SACD-60541 - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Conductor Erich Kunzel - with the Kiev Symphony Chorus. The Chorus introduction is beautiful - sends a chill down your spine.
knew someone had recorded the original arrangement somewhere.... this is human warm and emotive... when it's done with string as per the more modern orchestrations.. it sounds like a misrable dirge.
Excellent. Could you please post this in it's entirety? It's only complete when it's all there. Even if you have to split it into multiple vids, please post the whole thing! Thanks! :D
Dude, YOU CAN'T CUT THAT PART, THE WHOLE DRAMA STARTS AT 1:42
The 1st ** you have is now the current version of the prayer. The current version begins with Spasi Bozhe. The actual lyrics of the *** are " победы преснолюбимому воинству и богохрониме державе:
Pobedi presnoluubemu voienstvu i bogohroneme derzhave.
@nonamesleftatall1 Yes He is! Look it up!
nessuno come TCHAIKOVSKY
You catch a glimpse of what im talking about at 1:21 to about 1:38
Wow lol thats really cool how you could decypher that. ARe you russian?
Can someone please tell me: which recording is this? When? By what orchestra and conductor? I'd love to buy this version if I could find it. Thans in advance! :)
Lyrics (I have the score) although they are not quitehe same...
Spasi Gospodi liudi Tvoia
i blagoslovi
do stoianiie Tvoie
Pobedy boriushchimsia zaveru pravuiu i za sviatiui rus
na so protivnynia da ruia
I tvoie sokhrania ia
krestom tvoim shitel stvo
Phusics, спасибо for this wonderful recording! Do you have any idea of when it was made?
@ZuperZeize
What you found on youtube is what it really is.
@poissonnoir The lyrics are in Russian but if you google them English words I am sure you will find them.
Do you have the source of this? I am trying to find the full version
And please correct me if Im wrong, this is just an interesting tid bit about Tchaikovsky. Was he homosexual? I have heard some "rumors" about this. Please bring all of your wonderful knowledge to bare on this quesiton. Thanks!
does anyone know which version this is? which the orchestra plays and the conductor?
You seem to get versions either with the chorus or the cannons, never both.
@nonamesleftatall1 yes I would also like to ask was Osar Wilde EM Foster WH Auden Gore Vidal Benjamin Britain Peter Peirs Long John Baldwery Elton John George Michael and Lady Gaga were they or have they ever been gay - I think we should be told.
Does the melody that plays in the end exist in real? I've hear that it's called God save the Tsar, but when i look it up on youtube i get some slow and nice anthem... strange that it doesn't exist anywhere...
I'm not satisfied with the chorus, but the sound of orchestra is magnificent, very moved.
Where's the Red Army Chorus when you need it!!!
@MEPHIchoir
i wonder if there's a list of the versions in chronological order somewhere?
@AztekGyrl Dwelling? I asked one simple question about what I was curious about him...please involve yourself in a conversation intended for you....
@nonamesleftatall1 Yes. So what?!
little slow at the end
This is a bit too fast.
Rude? You went out of your way to shoot down a simple question about his life. As Phusics described so accuratley and in depth, Tchaikovsky's sexual preference had alot to do with his life...thus altering his compositions.
This version had been perfect had it not been for the bell on the last cord. it sounds like a fire alarm :( Shame!
Moscow is the third Rome - a fourth there shall never be.
