William Tell Overture - Rossini

[@joeblaumer2085]

This is a YOUTH orchestra? Wow. Awesome.

[@ivansvornik1094]

Oh, yes. Youth orchestra play like the bests. For example: the Orchestra from Music gymnasium Kranj (Slovenia) are numerous performances (posted by Zevnikov), perfect. The found for beautyfull future in concert music.

[@mr.mcmanudry7651]

no are you blind

[@wolf187th8]

Search on YT for 1987 North Penn Marching Knights. We played the William Tell Overture for our opening piece. It is a beautiful piece, but not technically difficult to play. I believe we did it justice.

[@ELKABONGHERE]

I often wonder how the first audience to hear this reacted to the famous end section. Because the first sections gave absolutely no clue as to what was coming lol.

[@RobertMacGregor-wi8uv]

As he was famously nicknamed 'signor crescendo', you can rest assured that the first audience knew what to expect. But still the excitement of the ' Lone Ranger' section would stir the blood of anyone, you got that right. Now the first time anyone heard the Spije Jones version, including the hiccuphone, THAT would be a Schock!

[@swimmerlaw]

Read up on how rhapsody in blue was first played Or how pink Floyd envied people who heard dark side of the moon in its entirety Which they never got to do Then you’ll understand

[@robertturner6534]

The piece was heavily criticized for being too loud and over the top. I love when the critics are so wrong!

[@Deejaay83urj38]

I was picturing that very thing! True. As I was listening before the charge came. Picturing them, it woukd have Bern like a rock concert

Mine too. Go La Crosse Aquinas HS class of 1984!!

[@teaeyedoubleguhur]

Our high school band played this in 1973, (Walhalla High, Walhalla, SC) It disappoints me that none of the school orchestras/bands tend to play music that it recognizable anymore.

Oh, this stuff was still being aired in the 70s, too. Looney Tunes was great.

[@davidallbaugh6858]

Whoever chose the finale of the William Tell Overture for the original Lone Ranger radio show when it premiered in 1933, made a great choice. The finale evokes images of a man on horseback ridding across the vast American West.

[@davidstricker6580]

I did. In fact, my 6th grade became very upset when we didn't have an assignment completed on Monday and accused us of watching the Lone Ranger and not knowing it was the WilliamnTell Overture.

[@jackknudson-rk1uv]

First, a little history, I graduated from a small high school in Iowa in 1967, we only had 150 kids hut we had a 60 piece band that was well known throughout the state. We marched in a 6x10 formation with 6 brass tubas in the last row. I ws a big kid and was drafted into t❤he band while in the 7th grade to fill in during football games carry a tuba, the damn things weigh over 25 lbs if you didn't know. I carried it for over a year before the music teacher convinced me to give up the trombone and a become a tubaist. We also played 4 concerts during the year, my junior or senior year we played this. We were a purely brass band so no strings whatsoever, i don't know if it was our teacher or somene else who did the arrangement but he had us 3 permanent tuba players play the lead in the brass part. Most fun I had and everyone loved it. We also won the state concert band award that year. Sadly yhat is all forgotten now because the school no longer exists now.Twin Rivers High School, Class of 67. GO PIRATES!!!

[@micheal49]

i graduated from a mid-sized high school in Florida in '67. We didn't have an orchestra. Actually, there was NO local orchestra at all. But the HS band director made up for it. One of the band concerts was nothing but overtures, including William Tell, Oberon, Barber of Seville, and something from Verdi (I forget which). Just imagine instead of violins and violas, there were flutes and clarinets (of every size).

[@beanpods]

I graduated from a one county high school in NC. It was the only HS but only 10-11-12 grade and approximately 2500 students. Marching Band had 250. We won all awards and were fantastic. Today it is only 27 members. Same with ROTC. We had 150 plus. Today it is 19 . And they are pathetic. Why? And what changed...

[@DeepThought9999]

@@beanpodsPerhaps the music teacher retired? Similar situation at my high school in Sydney Australia. Our school had international music tours, the music was so good. Just don’t hear about it now.

[@Weaver67bl]

Also grew up in a small town in Iowa, Boone, to be exact pop. Just over 12k. We had 112 students graduate from my Sr year. We had a small orchestra around 25-30 students, nothing major. We did have a marching band around 60 students. They would hold student assemblies for practice and hold concerts in the school auditorium from time to time. But nothing close to this. So proud of these young people, I'm 57 now and always appreciate hard work and dedication to true classic music.

[@jasonjohnston94]

That triangle player was really going after it! There are no small parts or small instruments and William Tell would not be the same without the triangle.

[@glennh2007]

When I was just a wee tyke I used to watch The Lone Ranger on TV. My parents had a 78 record of this and I would play it while galloping through the house pretending to be The Lone Ranger on his trusty steed Silver. This was a fond memory about 65 years ago.

I find myself revisiting your performance of the "Overture", more frequently now that I found this video site. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your rendition of this piece.

And, the familiar strains of "The William Tell Overture' blaring out as loud as I could get it on my old radio. Ahh yes, if we could only return to those "Glorious Days of Yesteryear"........ Again, I thank you so much for presenting this Magnificent work.

Impressive and inspirational! I auditioned during high school to play oboe for some youth symphony orchestra. It's a painful memory I try to repress. At that time, my embouchure had gotten messed up under my first teacher, and I was using my own reeds for the first time. So embarrassing! The eventual height of my double-reed career was playing oboe and English horn with a full orchestra, for a community theater production of The Sound of Music. That score has some memorable solos for both instruments.

A wonderful performance. Two things stand out - - The Finale is really crisp and tight - all of the musicians are really on top of the music and play the fast passages and the accents tightly together. - A special shoutout to the flutist. Those high octaves and other intervals at e. g. 8:00 take a lot of embouchure control.
