The William Tell Overture (aka The Lone Ranger's Theme)
Rossini's last opera - See link below.
If Rossini's music had to be summed up into one word, I think the best word would be 'loud.' Rossini is affectionately known in music circles as 'Senor Crescendo.' 'Quaint and truculent' are biographers' descriptions of both Rossini himself and his music. His music is further described as having 'humor, grace and vivacity.' Rossini composed 13 operas in his 30 year career. Among his most famous ones are The Barber of Seville, Othello, and William Tell. Part of the William Tell Overture gained fame in the 1950s as the theme to 'The Lone Ranger' TV series. This theme ranked second only to the theme from 'Dragnet.'
It is Finale of William Tell Overture: March of the Swiss Soldiers by Gioachino Antonio Rossini.
Gioachino Rossini 29th February 1792 - 13th November 1868. His fame is mainly based on his operas, especially Il barbiere di Siviglia, La Cenerentola and Guillaume Tell. In his time he was the most popular opera composer in history. Il barbiere di Siviglia was the first Italian opera ever presented in the United States.

Gioacchino Rossini composed the "William Tell" Opera.
Gioacchino Rosini is the composer for 'Go Tell Bill'
Gioacchino Rossini is best known for his operatic works, such as "The Barber of Seville" and "William Tell", rather than religious compositions. However, he did write a Stabat Mater, a sacred choral work, which is considered one of his most famous religious compositions.
He was an important opera composer before 1829. The overture to his opera "William Tell" is a popular concert piece.
It was first performed at the Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique on August 3, 1829.
The production of his Guillaume Tell in 1829 brought his career as a writer of opera to a close - so at that time he was 37 years old.
The Lone Ranger actually had four (4) theme songs: the most famous was the "William Tell Overture"" , by Giacomo Rossini; the next more popular was "Les Preludes" , by Franz Lizst; the third and fourth were Mendelssohn's "Hebrides" and "Calm Seas and Prosperous Voyage" overtures. They were played at different times in the story, depending on the mood.
The opera 'William Tell' was composed by Rossini. That included the overture, of course.
