The Song of the Soviet Army or Invincible and Legendary was performance of Alexandrov Ensemble.The original 1945 is highly triumphal with its brass fanfares and ecstatic chords extended upward with the aid of trumpets, as part of the V-E Day celebrations. That arrangement by A. Alexandrov is very much in the tradition of final choruses in 19th century Italian grand opera, and shows how he originally envisaged this composition. There are many versions of the song.
