Over the Hills is a very old song, it just gets changed often.
1812 was 50 year anniversary.
But I do think A Mighty Fortress is our God is a period Luthern hymn. |

I bet the French soldiers were still singing "Auprès de ma blonde", even though it was written in 1704.
I first heard that tune, when sung by Pepe le Pew. Quite a jaunty little ditty. YouTube link |

The Girl I Left Behind Me- the most enduring piece of military music of all. Great song but it's Seven Years War. Likewise "Over the Hills and Far Away" is War of the Spanish Succession. |

"Ca Ira" for the French From the Germans "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden" – and it's not political because the author served with the Wuttenburgers in the suppression of the popular Tyrolean uprising. |
