William Tell Overture

One of the great classic transcriptions of the concert band repertoire, Leidzen's famous arrangement of the most popular and beloved of Rossini's opera overtures has been re-issued in a fine modern edition edited by Tommy J. Fry. From the atmospheric opening, through the brilliant storm sequence and following pastorale (with its English Horn solo), to the quick march, almost inseparable, for American's of a certain age, from The Lone Ranger, this is a dazzling survey of what a talented modern band should be able to do.
