San Francisco Symphony -
William Tell Overture
Can you remember the first time you heard the William Tell Overture? If you are as old as I am you probably remember it as the theme to "The Lone Ranger" TV show. Or maybe it was in one of the early Bugs Bunny cartoons that is embedded in your brain from childhood?
I love this video. It not only shows the joy of music making, and the multi-generational power of music, but you also get a little glimpse into the lives of the orchestra members.
As a member of a famed symphony orchestra like the SFO, there are certain pieces that you have played SO MANY TIMES in your life that you might actually dread the fact that you see it once again programmed for the upcoming season. I imagine this piece might fall into that category.
But here, all the musicians are having so much fun, you can't help but start to gallop around your living room with the kids. Please enjoy!
