Disney medley for flute and piano

This April I participated in a quite ambitious student concert celebrating film music. The idea was to make chamber music more accessible to a mainstream audience, and by projecting images onto a big screen we were able to create an almost theatrical mood, celebrating not only the composers but the history if cinema itself. For this event I was asked to compose a medley of "children's themes" - something that could evoke a sense of familiarity among the audience and unite them through their collective memory. The result became a celebration of Disney's "musical rennaissance" - their revival (and renewal) of the animated musical in the late 80s starting with Ashman and Menken. It was the easiest solution for me since I grew up in that period and used to play all the songs on piano when I was younger. The piece opens with music from "Enchanted" (2007) and works its way back chronologically to "Little Mermaid" (1989).

The video might take a while to open if you don't have fast internet, but I pray for your patience and hope to get a few responses, for better or worse!
