The William Tell Overture sure brings back some memories. There also was a a radio show, called "Sergent Preston of the Yukon" that used a classical piece for it's theme; I sure wish I could find out the name of it.  

ask and ye shall ...know ....    "Donna Diana Overture"

Talkin about The Lone Ranger..................you know your an intellectual when you hear the The William Tell Overture and you don't think of The Lone Ranger.

[Major 2]

If you want to go there.... Franz von Suppé's  Light Cavalry Overture is probably most recognized in Warner Brothers Cartoons 

[Texas Lawdog]

I really the original Sons of the Pioneers, Vaughn Monroe singing Ghost Riders, Ken Curtis singing anything, and for Fun, Riders in the Sky singing The Cowboy Way.

Here's a link to my favorite western music playlist on YouTube.

[Lucky R. K.]

How about this one? It says that this was the first recording of this song except for the author.

Lucky,

I very much agree!

I would like to suggest seeing if you can find the complete "Highwayman" concert by the boys.
My best,
Blair

Burl Ives was such a performer. That Ghost Riders is still the best rendition of that song. Did the get an Oscar for Big Country?

[Ike Kant]

The main theme from Silverado is about as good as it gets.  The haunting "Clara's Theme" from Unforgiven really tugs at my heart.  The melody was composed by Clint Eastwood himself.

[The Elderly Kid]

The Magnificent Seven had a wonderful score by Elmer Bernstein. The above-mentioned "The Big Country" also had a great "Western epic" musical score.

I had the EP of The Big Country. It had 4 or maybe 5 pieces of music from the movie, all great stuff. Anyone wondering what an EP was?

Yep.  I'm probably old enough to know what it was - just never heard of it referred to as that.

[nagantino]

Ike, EP stood for Extended Player as opposed to LP Long Player. It was the size of a single.
