BIBBIDI BOBBIDI BACH
is the second of two albums that take classic Disney songs and reinterpret them in the styles of various classical composers. On this album the Little Mermaid's love ballad Kiss the Girl was scored in the style of Finnish composer JEAN SIBELIUS. This piece is performed by the ENGLISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA.When I first heard this piece I thought it sounded a lot like Wagner. But I when I looked at the liner notes I saw that it was in the style of Sibelius. Now I'm no expert on classical music so I searched Sibelius on Wikipedia and found out that Wagner is one of Sibelius' greatest inspirations!
This version of Kiss the Girl takes on a more dramatic approach. It turns this love song into a full out opera. It is unique and inventive. You have to listen very closely or you may not even recognize the song! The themes are there but they go through a few different variations.
