I suspect that track 'a', "The Tempest" is really a piece by Joseph
Hellmesberger (1828-1893). The actual German title is Gewitterszene, usually
translated as Storm Scene.
The "Symphony Orchestra" may have been members of the NBC Symphony, and they
may have taken liberties with the original Hellmesberger score.
This piece may be one of many Thesaurus tracks that found it's way into the
stock mood music library prepared by Thesaurus for the Lone Ranger radio show.
It has a "stagecoach chase" ambience which is a typical scene that the show
producers used it for.
The ultimate intent is to produce a multi CD set of ALL the music that was used
in this special library that was prepared for the Lone Ranger radio show. It
has all been identified and written about in a book "The Mystery of the Masked
Man's Music" by my partner in this project, Reginald M. Jones Jr. and published
by Scarecrow Press of Metuchin N.J. (ISBN 0-8108-1982-1)
