Many thanks to Gabriel Gillman for his advice for creating this video.
A couple of weeks ago Priscilla Pfalz and I did a live stream on the app Periscope. We were looking for duets to sing. I suggested to do the classic EPCOT Center song ‘New Horizons’, the theme song from the ride ‘Horizons’ (1983) at Walt Disney World.
After Priscilla and I did our live stream we decided to record the song. It started as a small idea, but I’m quite a perfectionist so I thought we needed a children’s choir as well. I asked my niece Loes and nephews Bram and Tijn to record it, and they did an amazing job! I thought me playing the piano wasn’t enough to give this song the right feel, so I made an orchestral arrangement. I used 40 different instruments for the recording.
’New Horizons’ is a beautiful song that should be just as well known as other Disney songs. Sadly the Walt Disney World ride ‘Horizons’ closed in 1999. We are very excited to share our new version of this song about hope and optimism and we hope you will enjoy it!
