La Victoire est a nous

 

Here for a great Napoleonic march. On Spotify. 

I found this on YouTube

The song La Victoire est à nous, adapted by David Buhl from an aria from an opera by composer André Ernest Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), La Caravane du Caire, is one of the “hits” of the military bands of the First Empire, executed on many battlefields, especially when entering Moscow on September 14, 1812. It was composed during the French campaign in Egypt and Syria. Born in Liège on February 11, 1741, André Grétry is one of the precursors of French opéra-comique. His performances animated Paris, even during the French Revolution. Much admired by Napoleon, he was among the first to receive the Legion of Honor.
