Gioacchino Rossini - William Tell Overture

The William Tell Overture is the overture to Gioacchino Rossini's opera 'Guillaume Tell' (William Tell). Its thrilling finale, the "Galop," is one of the most recognizable pieces of classical music in the world, famously used as the theme music for 'The Lone Ranger' radio and television shows. The overture vividly depicts a storm in the Alps, a pastoral scene, and a cavalry charge.
