Disneyland Paris on Piano – 30 Years of Magic and Music

Om de dertigste verjaardag van Disneyland Parijs te vieren heb ik een piano medley gearrangeerd van muziek van de attracties, shows en parades van 1992 tot nu! Deze liedjes heb ik vaak gespeeld in Café Fantasia in het Disneyland Hotel dus het werd tijd om de liedjes op te nemen.

 

EPCOT Piano Medley Part 2 – Walt Disney World (2020)

 

This piano medley is a continuation of an EPCOT musical journey I began after releasing my first medley during EPCOT’s 35th anniversary a few years ago. Diving deeper into this park, it’s history, it’s philosophy, and the many wonderful songs and themes written for its various attractions and entertainment offerings, I realized that a single medley only scratched the surface of the music written for the park.
This video is dedicated to the Disney community for preserving this collection of Disney park music for a new generation of dreamers.

Walt Disney World Nighttime Concert (2020)

Vocals: Gijs Van Winkelhof & Priscilla Pfalz
Orchestral arrangement: Gijs Van Winkelhof

Last December, after purchasing a new digital stage piano I was experimenting with all of it’s interesting features and sounds. I came upon an electric piano setting which was reminiscent of those classic Disney power ballads from the 90s. I realized that playing songs like ‘SpectroMagic’ and ‘Happily Ever After’ on that ‘Disney Piano’ gave them a new energy and warmth. I thought it would be really cool to record a medley of all the nighttime spectaculars at Walt Disney World in the style of those iconic power ballads. I asked my friend Priscilla Pfalz to record the vocals with me.

We hope the video will bring back lots of fond memories for everyone, and will introduce music from the past that people haven’t necessarily heard before. We do know that there won’t be any nighttime spectaculars at Disney Parks the next couple months due to COVID-19, and we see the Concert as a way to bring the joy of these iconic shows into people’s homes!
