How did Gioachino Rossini know about galloping horses for his William Tell overture?

I'm not quite sure what you mean but the finale of the overture has been used many times by the media, especially to denote galloping horses [including the Lone Ranger theme] and in the opera itself the final act includes a battle of armies. However there is nothing to suggest that Rossini had galloping horses in mind Rossini never could have gotten the three-beat of the galloping horse if he hadn't known about it. He was a blacksmith's apprentice at the age of 13. I think he may have had personal experience with a runaway horse. Certainly he knew the galloping cadence.

What are the Lyrics of the song 'The Galloping Major'?

THE GALLOPING MAJOR Sung by George Bastow Written & Composed by Fred W Leigh & George Bastow 1. When I was in the army I was a cavalry man, you know And when ever I went on parade a magnificent picture I made Through my galloping here and my galloping there This ridiculous habit I got And I'm hanged if I don't think I'm galloping know Whether up in the saddle or not! And the people all stare at me so, For it matters not where I may go, It's (Chorus) Bumpity! bumpity! bumpity! bump! As if I was riding my charger Bumpity! bumpity! bumpity! bump! As proud as an Indian Rajah. All the girls declare That I'm a gay old stager Hey! Hey! clear the way Here comes the Galloping Major 2. Last year I thought I'd treat myself to a holiday by the sea, So I went and my quarters I fixed Then I found that the bathing was mixed. So I galloped a way to a bathing machine In the busiest part of the day And I soon felt at home with the girls in the water And joined in their frivolous play. They were beautiful creatures, but, lor! How they giggled as soon as they saw Me Chorus 3. I always was a ladies man, and a favourite with the sex Well, I called upon one yesterday, Thought I won't give the lady away. She started to talk of my army career, And was quite interested, you see, But I got rather tired, so we talked about her, Which was more interesting to me. And she said I'd been taking some wine, For as soon as we sat down to dine I went Chorus (twice through) I used to sing this in a concert party in the 70's Keith Howard (England)
