William Tell Overture (symphony)

This is one of the classic classics. It is famous for its 3rd movement, which is a notable example of a Ranz des Vaches (beginning at 5:30), and its 4th movement, which is a finale that served as the The Lone Ranger theme (beginning at 8:13). It is on my short list of sound files that I would most like to contribute to WP and I was pleased to have found it. This file contributes significantly to the following articles:

• Gioachino Rossini
• William Tell Overture
• Ranz des Vaches
• The Lone Ranger
• Transcription (music)

• Regretful oppose This is an excellent transfer of a vintage recording that highlights the 1920s taste in orchestral performance and the sound of early electrical recording. This being said, I don't believe that the license is compatible with our free content mission. I started a discussion on the license on the talkpage, so feel free to engage me there.

• Suspend request while licensing is resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:32, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
  • I have given up on getting the licensing issue for this file clarified and thus give up on its promotion.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:20, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
• I would be willing to support this if the license were straightened out. I will run it through deletions to get a thumbs up or down. Also if it is non-compliant, our bigger is is hosting and article usage NOT the gold star. So let's make it "come to Jesus". ;0TCO (reviews needed) 21:44, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
