The overture to the opera William Tell, especially its high-energy finale, is a very familiar work composed by Gioachino Rossini. There has been repeated use (and sometimes parody) of this overture in the popular media, most famously for being the theme music for the Lone Ranger media property, and it is quoted by Dmitri Shostakovich in his Symphony No. 15. William Tell was the last and most enduringly famous of Rossini's 39 operas, after which he went into semi-retirement, although he continued to compose cantatas, sacred music, and secular vocal music.
The William Tell Overture is often associated with certain competitive sports, such as horse racing.
The overture is written in four parts, each segueing into the next:
Prelude - a slow passage with low-pitch instruments such as cello and bass
Storm - dynamic section played by full orchestra
Ranz des vaches (call to the dairy cows) - featuring the English horn (this music is often used in animated cartoons to signify daybreak)
Finale - ultra-dynamic "cavalry charge" galop heralded by trumpets and played by full orchestra. This is the tune used in the Lone Ranger series. It is also utilized for most of "The Presidents," a song about the Presidents of the United States, sung by the Animaniacs. It is also the "Happy Anniversary" song, from an episode of The Flintstones.
Franz Liszt prepared a piano transcription of the overture in 1838 (S.552).
