Sometimes one has to listen to classical music as well as pop. For that purpose, a lazy Sunday afternoon and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture are an excellent combination.

The Classical.net web site contains a MIDI version of this classic tune, and if you haven't heard the composition before, it is time to do so now.

Also, the page contains some basic information about the overture. History is always worth reading.
