Well a lot of the music is from Yanni, not sure if it's all him. He's also got some tracks that play (or used to) in WOL.

the music comes from a bunch of different sources. some is Yanni, but there's also a track or 2 from The Rocketeer, a John Tesch track, and a couple of other ones I can't quite remember right now.

I'm a huge fan of all the fountain music! The Yanni piece is "Standing in Motion." It's on his "Live at the Acropolis" CD. Another is "Day One" by John Tesh which is on "Live at Red Rocks." There's also music from "The Rocketeer," "Rescuers Down Under" and "Iron Will," three Disney films. The tracks for the Disney films is hard to find, but the Yanni and Tesh CDs are both easy to find.

Standing in Motion has to be one of my favs! I own 3 of Yanni's CDs, but not the "live at the Acropolis" (though I did watch it on TV a while back) He rocks!

Mine too, though it's hard to pick just one favorite -- it just gives me an energy boost, which I need fairly often!

Ok... this is the dance instructor in me talking now. If you have a heartbeat, then you have Rythmn. If you feel your body just want to move when music plays.. and you ENJOY IT... then VOILA! You're Dancing! Most people let their self confidence get in the way of their dance. The secret is not to care what anyone else thinks... just let it go and DANCE!

BTW... Two left feet are still Two feet that can tap!
Ok.... stepping off my virtual soapbox now.... heheh

"Standing In Motion" just finished, and it was awesome !!! I always thought it sounded like Yanni, but was never sure until this thread.

Isn't it exciting! I still can't get over it! I liked Yanni since the early 90's Does anyone know what other things he's written for/or used in Disney?

My daughter (15) caught a bit of "Standing in Motion" a couple of days ago as it was playing on Subsonic. She was instantly hooked – this is your typical teenager who thinks everything grownups listen to is lame. So I guess it really is one powerful piece of music! (the Disney connection didn't hurt, though)

That site has all (I think) of the fountain tracks available. You can download them too I think if you want from that site.
