If Rossini's music had to be summed up into one word, I think the best word would be 'loud.' Rossini is affectionately known in music circles as 'Senor Crescendo.' 'Quaint and truculent' are biographers' descriptions of both Rossini himself and his music. His music is further described as having 'humor, grace and vivacity.' Rossini composed 13 operas in his 30 year career. Among his most famous ones are The Barber of Seville, Othello, and William Tell. Part of the William Tell Overture gained fame in the 1950s as the theme to 'The Lone Ranger' TV series. This theme ranked second only to the theme from 'Dragnet.'
