A new video! Sight-reading practice. I think I’m getting better. Sheet music available here: http://bit.ly/PocahontasSheetmusic

I’ve been meaning to play this song forever, and finally got myself the sheet music book. Expect more songs from Pocahontas soon.

I recently got a request to just have a violin line for the Kingdom Dance transcription/reduction I did two a few weeks ago. Here is a violin-solo version of the song. If you play it, I want to hear it!

Looking for more Tangled sheet music?

Disney’s Tangled was awesome. For a good friend of mine, it had the effect that How to Train Your Dragon had on me: utter inspiration, from a musical, graphical, and storyline viewpoint. Now both of us are determined to break into the animation side of filmmaking, whether it be Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, or somewhere completely different.

Here’s a request for sheet music I got: Kingdom Dance, one of the songs that didn’t make it into the official sheet music.

Composed by Alan Menken, © Wonderland Music Company, Inc. and Walt Disney Music Company.

Update 9/22/2011: Someone requested violin sheet music for the song.

Footnote: I recently upgraded to (now AVID’s) Sibelius 7. It’s fantastic, and I might do some kind of blog post in the future about its awesome new features. (I swear I don’t get paid by them to market their product.)

Happy Birthday, mom! As a (probably quite odd) present, I arranged, performed and recorded a song from Aladdin – probably one you haven’t heard, as it wasn’t in the actual movie. Proud of Your Boy is a song composed by Alan Menkin (lyrics by Tim Rice), but it never made the final cut. Mangled YouTube video (thanks to a crappy webcam I used in lieu of a real camera) and sheet music below.

Lyrics
Proud of your boy
I’ll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I’ve been, Ma
You’re in for a pleasant surprise

I’ve wasted time
I’ve wasted me
So say I’m slow for my age
A late bloomer, Okay, I agree

That I’ve been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I’ll get over these lousin’ up
Messin’ up, screwin’ up times

You’ll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone’s gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy

Tell me that I’ve been a louse and loafer
You won’t get a fight here, no ma’am
Say I’m a goldbrick, a good-off, no good
But that couldn’t be all that I am

Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There’s no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know, but

Someday and soon
I’ll make you proud of your boy
Though I can’t make myself taller
Or smatter or handsome or wise

I’ll do my best, what else can I do ?
Since I wasn’t born perfect like Dad or you
Mom, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy
