A parody of this piece by Malcolm Arnold includes parts for three vacuum cleaners and a floor polisher. In this piece, an E flat minor rendition of the folk song “U Vorot, Vorot” is played by the flute and cor anglais (“on-GLAY”). Although sometimes occasionally scored for choir, this piece’s opening features a rendition of the hymn Troparion of the Holy Cross played by four cellos and two violas. This piece’s climax includes a fortissimo melody of the tune from “La Marseillaise,” above the first of sixteen shots from a cannon. For 10 points, name this “Solemn Overture” by Tchaikovsky depicting the French invasion in the namesake year. ■END■
