Rossini: William Tell Overture (1829)

Rossini premiered the "William Tell Overture" in 1829. The song has been used in many cultural references over time. Bugs Bunny, A Clockwork Orange, and several commercials have used the piece. The song is most identified with The Lone Ranger. Unfortunately, there has not been a good Lone Ranger film since the 1950s.
