Can you other old-timers help me identify the several snips of old war horses used during the Lone Ranger radio series. William Tell is a given. No, kiddies, not the tv series.

Ah, yesss, one of my favorites as a kid! A lot of the background music is from the symphonic poem "Les Preludes" by Franz Liszt. There is a Naxos CD (8.550487) that has that and three of his other tone poems. The title (strangely enough) is, Liszt Symphonic Poems.

I am not exactly a real old-timer. The series started in the 30's, before my time, but I did get to listen to some of them in the 50's. I still listen to them today on XM radio, and from downloads from various sites on the net.
Hope this helps,
From the Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, by John Dunning.
The William Tell Overture, by Rossini. Internal themes and bridges: Les Preludes, by Listz; The 1812 Overture, by Tchaikovsky; Polovtsian Dances, from the opera Prince Igor, by Borodin; incendental music from the Rosamunde Suite, by Shubert, and various passages from, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Strauss and many other classical composers.

Thanks Jim and Todd. Interesting I didn't find that reference in my searches.
I do believe that program and the music had an influence on my musical tastes. Also interesting how "in the old days" it was Polovetsian and a few years ago was shortened.
