Political Memes - Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture Finale

I am actually quite an accomplished musician myself.

I played the 105mm howitzer in several performances of the 1812 overture. The 105 puts some real bottom in the percussion section.

OK. I’m impressed. Really! What absolute fun and joy!

I’ve been thinking of using that music to do a video of the July 4th fireworks, to go with the one I did of Beethoven’s 5th.

Does anyone have a better suggestion for music?

I’m working full out, just now, on ancient Etruscan/Greco/Roman jewelry at the MFA right now, but hoping to be ready for the fireworks.
