Fox Hunt Puppet Show

I love listening to our "Fox Hunt" song and doing the puppet show, but there's nothing quite like seeing the actual orchestra performing the piece. Imagine the thrill of seeing it live! Totally awesome!



I love the intensity of this piece. It's the finale of the William Tell Overture.

Here's a few fun tidbits about the composer, Gioachino Antonio Rossini:

Rossini

  • He was born on Leap Day, 1792!
  • Born in Italy to a family of musicians.
  • At six years old he joined his father's band and played the triangle.
  • At ten years old he started composing music and was often asked to play the piano and sing at church.
