Disney is giving us a behind the scenes look at the music behind the all new nighttime spectacular coming to Epcot October 1st. This show brings music from all different cultures and Disney films together in one harmonious show.
The soundtrack for Harmonious was produced remotely with more than 100 separate recording sessions in nine countries and five states. Nearly 240 musicians, artists, composers, arrangers, cultural consultants, and vocalists worked on this show.
Award winning Puerto Rican artist Luis Fonsi joins Mexican singer-songwriter Joy for pan-Latin versions of songs from “Coco” and “Salads Amigos.” Bryson Camper, Karen Clark Sheard and Kierra Sheard put a vibrant arrangement on “Dig a Little Deeper” from “The Princess and the Frog.” Musical selections from “Mulan,” “The Jungle Book,” and “Aladdin” are sung by Wang Liuqi, Hollie Hammel, Aditya Rao, Gaayatri Kaundinya, Jorgia Shkara, and Sanaa Marahati. The Ndlovu Youth Choir from Johannesburg contributes to a medley from “The Lion King.” French pop singer Damien Sargue provides vocals for “Out There” from Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and Máiréad Nesbitt and Lindsey Stirling put their mark on music from “Brave.”
The show opens with a medley from “Moana” and “Hercules” performed by American Idol finalist Danny Gokey along with Elisha Garrett and Ninet Tayeb. The show builds tp a finale that brings many of the musical artists together for a powerful song and emotional close. Throughout the soundtrack there is a musical motif from Pinar Toprak’s Epcot anthem.
Harmonious will debut at Epcot on October 1st as part of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration!
