Practice Tips (web link)

William Tell Overture as the Lone Ranger Theme

Here is what the Bugs Bunny cartoon was referencing. High Ho Silver!

Galop - Bizet

This version of Galop by Georges Bizet is being used to a Medieval War Game. Go figure!

Jupiter from The Planets - Holst

Montana Imagery has done a really nice job of advertising the majesty of this mountain state by using the exhillarating music from Gustav Holst's Jupiter from The Planets.

Allegro Giocoso - Brahms

The Allegro Giocoso we are currently rehearsing is actually the third movement of Johannes Brahms' Fourth Symphony. Here, enjoy a recording of Carlos Kleiber conducting the Bavarian State Orchestra.

Italian Symphony - Mendelssohn

You would be hard pressed to listen to modern orchestra recordings without hearing the name Kurt Masur. Here is the famous Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig performing the Italian Symphony of Felix Mendelssohn.

William Tell Overture - Rossini

Watch past the opening title to this Bugs Bunny cartoon to hear an excerpt from our William Tell Overture. Animators were referencing The Lone Ranger radio show (which also used the William Tell Overture as its theme) for this Western episode.

Funeral March of a Marionette - Gounod

Alfred Hitchcock Presents was a suspense anthology TV show that ran from 1955-1965 and used an excerpt from Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette for its theme music.

Russian Sailors' Dance - Gliere

Here is the Moanalua Symphony Orchestra playing Gliere's Russian Sailors' Dance. Can you hear your part?
