Who are the composers of this music?

[mickster68]

Does anybody know who makes this music? We were wondering if they are contracted by Disney to compose/record or Disney employees? What an awesome selection of music!!

http://www.soundofmagic.com/ has great info on composers. I believe most of it is contrated out. There are plans to make SR more informational about each of the tracks and such.

soundofmagic is a good website for composer information. You can also find many tracks available for downloading there.

Most of the music is contracted out, while some of it is actually taken from films such as the rocketeer theme for the epcot fountain.

I am listening to the illuminations - preshow area music - loop and with about 5 min's left it goes into this awesome part, with flutes and stuff, what is the name of that part? It's right before the western sounding part at the end. Is there a list some where that says what all these songs are for this set?
Thank you!

I love The Sound of Magic, but the site hasn't been updated since 2003. It was a big disappointment last time I visited.

Okay, here we go...

If you're talking about the Sept. 1999 - July 3, 2004 show, here is a track listing of the preshow music (song -- artist):

1 They Were Dancing Barefoot -- Yehuda Poliker
2 Superwasp/Along The Coast Of Norway/Neckbuster -- Seelyhoo
3 Native Funk -- Burning Sky
4 Flute Battle -- Cusco
5 The Concertina Set -- Bùrach
6 Imeland -- Groupa
7 Montezuma -- Cusco
8 30-års Jiggen (Thirty-Year Jig) -- Väsen
9 Inca Dance -- Cusco
10 Appalachian Morning -- John Williams & The Boston Pops

If you mean the show since July 3, 2004, here is the preshow info:

1 Jalan Kopo -- Sabah Habas Mustapha
2 Busindre Reel -- Hevia
3 Gaviotes -- Hevia
4 Tula -- Cusco
5 Bear -- Hedningarna
6 Red Skies -- Omar Faruk Tetbilek
7 Texas -- Wimme

I have no idea if these lists are complete, but this is all I could scrounge from various places on the web.

Hope this helps. I think the track you can request here is the 1999-2004 version. Maybe subsonic can verify that. Good luck finding what you're looking for! (I think Cusco is your best bet!)
