Louis-Hector Berlioz (11 December 1803 - 8 March 1869) was a French Romantic composer and conductor.

Berlioz wrote a number of 'overtures', many of which have become popular concert works. These include true overtures designed to introduce operas, as well as stand-alone concert overtures that are, in effect, the first orchestral tone poems.

Le carnaval romain, ouverture pour orchestre (Roman Carnival Overture), op. 9. Composed in 1843 and premiered at the Salle Herz, Paris, on 3 February 1844. An independent overture intended for concert performance, it is based on material and themes from Berlioz's opera Benvenuto Cellini, including some music from the opera's carnival scene - hence the overture's title. It is scored for large orchestra, in the key of A major, and features a prominent and famous solo for the English horn.

Lake Thun was filmed by Christian Schlegel and the video edited by Wenjing Ma.
