William Tell Finale

WILLIAM TELL, Rossini's last opera, was first producted in Paris in 1829 and is still widely regarded as his masterpiece.  This finale to the celebrated overture encapsulates the enthralling experience of Rossini's opera.  It attained an acceptance and appreciation undreamed of by the composer when it was used as the theme for the popular and pioneering television program, THE LONE RANGER. In this arrangement for mallet trio by Percy Hall, the exaggerated dynamic contrasts, coupled with a tempo compatible with the perfomer's skill level, will yield a performance of unparalleled excitement.
