[Disney] Popular BGM: Enjoy Disney through music!

Happy EndingAlan Menken

Happy Ending (score) – The Little Mermaid OST

This piece is used in the final scene of the hugely popular Disney film, The Little Mermaid.

Even without lyrics, the orchestral instruments draw you right into Disney’s magical world.

It’s a wonderfully arranged piece and makes the perfect background music, bringing to mind the scene where Ariel and Eric have the wedding everyone dreams of.

Part Of Your WorldAlan Menken

Part Of Your World – The Little Mermaid (Piano Cover)

This is “Part of Your World,” a song from the film The Little Mermaid, covered by New Zealand composer and pianist Samantha van der Sluijs.

It’s a grand, moving piece, but when arranged for piano it transforms into soothing, calming music.

It’s also great to switch between arrangements depending on your mood.

Door to FreedomAlan Menken

Mandy Moore – When Will My Life Begin? (From “Tangled”/Sing-Along)

This song is from the movie Tangled.

You probably remember the scene where Rapunzel sings it in the intro and other parts of the film.

With its high, clear vocals playing in the background, it’s a track that always puts you in a good mood.

Why Should I WorryBilly Joel

Why Should I Worry KARAOKE – Disney’s Oliver and Company

This song is from the movie Oliver and Company.

It’s sung by Billy Joel.

With a voice that perfectly suits the carefree dog he played, Billy Joel delivers an outstanding performance as a voice actor.

He’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he continues to perform, bringing enjoyable music to many listeners.

My Favorite ThingsBrad Mehldau

Brad Mehldau – My Favorite Things @ Jazz a Vienne 2010

This is a jazz-style piano cover of “My Favorite Things,” the song sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

Brad Mehldau is an American pianist and composer, a jazz musician known for forging his own style without being constrained by historically accepted jazz rules.

His unique performances are incredibly captivating, and I think this track is perfect as background music.

It’s A Small WorldDisney Guitar: Lullaby

Disney on Classic: Magical Night Concert 2004 – It’s a Small World

The theme song of the attraction “it’s a small world,” found in Disney theme parks around the world.

On the ride, you board a boat and travel across the globe.

Children from different countries sing the song in their own languages, and in the Asia area, Japanese child dolls, of course, sing in Japanese.

While the music is charming and family-friendly, the orchestral version preserves that character while delivering a grand performance.

Presenting the version performed at a Disney orchestral concert.

Once Upon a DecemberEmile Pandolfi

Emile Pandolfi-Once Upon A December (Piano version)

This piece is a piano cover of a wistful melody from the Disney film “Anastasia.” It’s a cover by American pianist Emily Pandolfi, known for her piano performances of various TV show themes.

One of this pianist’s charms is her ability to transform songs that evoke a touch of loneliness into relaxing pieces.
