William Tell was the legendary Swiss Folk Hero who was a virtuoso marksman with the crossbow and famous for his arching skills. Legend has it that on November 18, 1307, William Tell defied the Austrian authority by not bowing to a hat that was placed on a pole by Gessler, the Austrian Vogt (overlord). William Tell was arrested. Tell's punishment would be that he and his son would be executed unless he could shoot an apple from his son's head from a distance of 80 paces. William Tell shot the apple successfully, but Gessler noticed that William Tell had an extra arrow, which William Tell had planned to use to kill Gessler. Gessler captured William Tell again, but Tell escaped and utlimately killed Gessler. William Tell's famous fights for liberty made him a folk hero and caused a rebellion leading to the Swiss Confederation. In 1803-1804, the famous German dramatist and poet, Friedrich Schiller wrote the play "Wilhelm Tell". The brilliant Italian composer, Gioacchino Rossini used Schiller's play as the basis for his opera "William Tell", which Rossini composed in 1829. Rossini's "William Tell Overture" is one of Classical music's most famous and recognizable masterpieces, which has been featured in films and TV, and as the theme music for "The Lone Ranger" radio and TV shows.
