Tchaikovsky's 1812: The Multimedia Festival Overture

Having been created by the same company, Tchaikovsky's 1812: The Multimedia Festival Overture is identical in format to Beethoven 5th: The Multimedia Symphony. Appropriate for high school and college students, the five modules include an overview of Tchaikovsky's life, a formal analysis of the 1812 Overture, a complete recording of the work with written commentary, an introduction to each instrument in the orchestra, and a set of games. The recording can be interrupted at any time for additional information, and the score can be viewed in short segments as the music plays. A glossary of musical terms is also included.
