In addition to seeing the movie, Magic Kingdom Park guests (maybe even you?) have already been getting to know leading lady Merida in person. Both are available at your favorite store or by download. Also from Walt Disney Records is the Songs and Story edition of “Brave,” with four songs and a narrated story with soundtrack dialogue. The soundtrack CD is available at select Disney Parks locations (you can spot it in the photo in Steven’s post about “Brave” merchandise).

The other two songs are woven into the story, the darkly comic “Song of Mor’du,” featuring Billy Connolly, and the breathtakingly touching “Noble Maiden Fair,” sung in Gaelic by Emma Thompson and Peigi Barker (the English lyrics are printed on the CD booklet). Three are heard over the action: “Touch the Sky,” “Into the Open Air” and “Learn Me Right.” The first two are sung by Scottish singer/musician Julie Fowlis the third is written and performed by singer Birdy (vocalist) and folk rock band Mumford & Sons of England. “Brave” is not a musical in the traditional sense, but has songs. Patrick Doyle’s compositions, performed by The London Symphony Orchestra (which is behind the screen of everything from the first Star Wars film to this year’s “Marvel’s The Avengers” and so much more) is evocative, authentic and exciting. On a purely audio level, though, it can take you a musical journey over a spectacular Scottish countryside without leaving your CD player. If you’ve seen the film, some of the music will rekindle your memories. Get ready to relive the fun and fantastical world of Disneys Brave Listen along to a retelling of the story based on the movie, and four favorite songs. Pixar’s “ Brave,” it’s a magnificent listening experience.The music gets to take center stage – and in the case of the soundtrack album to Disney That’s part of the fun of soundtrack albums that offer a rich primarily instrumental score. The background score is crafted to support what you’re watching, to intensify and accent the drama or comedy – literally, to underscore the action. The legendary composer Henry Mancini believed that if an audience paid too much attention to the background score of a movie, the composer hadn’t done a sufficient job.
