I just finished playing through this piece in college. The original orchestration contains the following instruments:
One Piccolo
One Flute
Two oboes
Two Clarinets (in A)
Two Bassoons
Four French Horns (in G and E)
Two Trumpets (in E)
Three Trombones
Timpani
Triangle
Bass Drum
Cymbals
Strings
There are other arrangements of this piece that exist for different instrumentation, however, this orchestration is of the most well-known original copy of William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini.
The opera 'William Tell' was composed by Rossini. That included the overture, of course.
According to Wikipedia: "The overture to the opera William Tell, with its high-energy finale, is a very familiar work composed by Gioachino Rossini in 1829."
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.
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."
No, it was composed by 'Gioachino Rossini.'
