Sleeping Beauty (soundtrack)

Sleeping Beauty is the official soundtrack album for the 1959 Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty. The album was released on January 29, 1959 by Buena Vista Records.
==Background==
The music for the film was adapted by composer George Bruns from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet of Sleeping Beauty. Bruns also composed some original music for the film, such as the songs "Hail to the Princess Aurora", "Skumps" and "Once Upon a Dream". The latter song was based on Tchaikovsky's melody for the Garland Waltz from Act I of the ballet.
The soundtrack album features 19 tracks, including vocal performances by Mary Costa as Princess Aurora, Bill Shirley as Prince Phillip, Taylor Holmes as King Stefan, Bill Thompson as King Hubert, and the Sleeping Beauty Chorus. The album also includes instrumental scores by Bruns and the Graunke Symphony Orchestra (now known as the Munich Symphony Orchestra).
The soundtrack album received positive reviews from critics and audiences, who praised Bruns' adaptation of Tchaikovsky's music and vocal performances. The song "Once Upon a Dream" became a popular hit and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1959. The soundtrack album was reissued several times over the years, with different cover art and track listings. In 1996, a remastered version of the album was released by Walt Disney Records as part of their Classic Soundtrack Series. In 2014, a two-disc edition of the album was released by Walt Disney Records as part of their Legacy Collection series, featuring additional tracks and bonus material.
