Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Indirectly: “1812 Overture” by Tchaikovsky,
it’s concerned with Napoleonic wars i!.e France–VS–Russia of course – Russian Church song & ‘ca va sans dire’ mais oui (in French – goes without saying) The “Marseillaise” for French troops!.
Scottish stuff: can research, but by-the-way: the Highlanders coming over the hill, with bagpipes, scared the bejeebers of French troops, they said are these banshees or what, what in sacre bleu is that!? C’est vrai!. Bonjour!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
