Symphony Hour

[Prof. Emelius]

Does anyone know the name of the classical piece, or pieces, used for the 1940s Mickey Mouse cartoon Symphony Hour. I have always recognized the music, but not sure of the composer or the name. It sounds a lot like the William Tell Overture, but I think it is different.
