I have to agree on this. If Walt was still alive and running the show, I'd say maybe. But with the way the company is run now, I'd keep our boys away from them as far as possible. So many of Disney's teen stars end up being spoiled rotten brats who think the world owes them something. And, I can't even remember the last Disney movie I've been to.
Wait, yes I can. It was The Black Hole. Good sci/fi special effects epic but some real hazy science. I remember a scene where they are running around on the outside of the space ship without suits on.
Whoops. Got off track there. :roll:

I second that.
Last summer, I had a chance to meet some of the biggest Disney stars in person when I was working as a backstage crew. I used to think they were jokes and cursed my internship for making me go there, but their down-to-earth humbleness really impressed me. Some might be snobs, but certainly not all are.

I can see Libera music playing in some of the Disney's better movies like Chronicles of Narnia.
BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS*

Chronicles of Narnia would be a great Disney movie to have Libera music in. :D :D

lacrymosa2 wrote:Out of the tracks EMI and Libera has given to us, my favourites are "Ave Virgo" and "The Fountain". Unfortunately, "Exsulate" and "Lacrymosa" did not make the cut.

I thought "Ave Virgo" was well executed with the clear, high notes beautifully sustaining the harmonies of my favourite movement of the Clarinet Concerto. I still like the dark, rich tone of the original piece, but this piece delivers the exact mood as the original along with a light, airy feel.

The boys did a great job on The Fountain staying true to the dark tone of the Chopin Prelude. The piece gives it a mysterious feel, which I particularly like.

Regarding "Exsulate", my feelings are on par with the majority of the members. Like illuminaperpetua, I could see the elves swarming my house like army ants and my roof falling apart. With the jokes aside, two things I liked about this song was the different layers of voices being used, especially the low ones and the Medieval theme.

Like the other members, I felt that the rerecording of Lacrymosa was unnecessary. But the same argument can be said about the rerecording of Libera for "Visions" Sanctus and Salva Me for "Angel Voices ".
After listening to "Exsultate", I have grown to like it a little more. I am always a sucker for Medieval themed music with the bells, percussion, and the recorder. As mentioned previously, the multiple layers of voice is the strong point, and I would refer to this as the lasagna of the album. You have Ben's voice being the fresh lasagne sheets, along with the ragù bolognese being the high voices, the bechamel sauce being the lower voices, and the Parmegiano Reggiano being the supportive notes.

Sorry. I was speaking in terms of food. I was at UCLA watching a Mark O'Connor masterclass yesterday, and he said that he associates music with food, and I agree with him.
