Gioachino Rossini & used on TV for "The Lone Ranger" theme & elsewhere. In my youth, it was said that "an intellectual is a person who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger."


What radio turned William tell overture theme song?

The Lone Ranger


What was The Lone Ranger theme song name?

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.


How did it come that Rossini composed the William tell overture?

Rossini's last work was a French grand opera titled and about William Tell. As always, when the opera was completed he wrote an overture to be played as a curtain-raiser. It was so successful that it has become a concert staple played by itself, and it was made even more famous when the fourth section was used first on radio and then on television as the theme for The Lone Ranger.


Is the light cavalry overture and the William tell overture the same?

The Light Cavalry Overture and the William Tell Overture are not at all the same piece. The Light Cavalry Overture (1865) was written by Franz von Suppé (1819-95) as the overture to one of his 30 comic operas, "Leichte Cavallerie". The William Tell Overture was written by G. Rossini (1792-1868) and is the overture to "Guillaume Tell" (1829), an opera in four acts. The overture is in four sections (including a bombastic storm); but the most famous section is the last, which gained fame in America when it was used as the theme music for the Lone Ranger.
