Opening theme from Disney's The Lion King by Elton John and Hans Zimmer. Circle of Life is probably one of the most well-known and nostalgic opening scenes of all Disney films.
This song was nominated for best original song in 1994.
This piano tutorial is for an intermediate piano level and I have included the fingering I used in the sheet music for easy learning. Turn on subtitles for lyrics! 🔉

this brings me back to my childhood. the Lion King was one of those films that left a really heavy impression on me, and this song still feels so powerful to me. love that I can hear the song closing my eyes while listening to you play this song on the piano. beautiful ^^

[@EnriqueLazaro]

I am glad to read your words Lucy😊

[@blackcrystal_2018]

@@EnriqueLazaro oh, I am glad to hear that ^^

[@leerontaimusic]

Again, you got me going down memory lane! You got me remembering the first animated film of 'Lion King'. This brings back so much childhood memories! This is pure gorgeousness, Enrique!

[@kalynnscompositions]

I like the arrangement! Very nicely covered Enrique! (:

[@fluffyattackify]

This is amazing! I never thought of this song as being "pretty" but you have definitely changed my mind, this is fabulous!

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Thanks Audrey, glad you liked it!

[@jasonyoungblood9359]

Wow, perfect! Best arrangement I've found of this song. I'm totally about to learn it, thanks!

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Thank you Jason!

[@OrchestraEclipse]

Awesome arrangement, such a powerful song

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Thank you friend!😊

[@robinfarjaud8697]

That's the first good arrangement I see of this song, well done !! You are really good at what you're doing, I love all your arrangements. This one is incredible too 😍😍

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Thank you very much my friend! The truth is that it takes me several weeks to arrange each song.

[@robinfarjaud8697]

​@@EnriqueLazaro I've already bought the sheets of "This Land/King of Pride Rock" and "I See the Light", and this one's the next for sure !! Thank you for allowing us to have such a good time playing this classics from our childhood 👍😊

[@EnriqueLazaro]

@@robinfarjaud8697 thank you for your support!!

[@weifrommusiclah7597]

Gotta say this is one of my top few favourite Disney OST besides To The Distance and You'll Be In My Heart. Love your arrangement here, it really captures the feels and hope you are doing well too! Been awhile. 🤣

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Hi Wei, thank you for your words. I'm glad you liked the arrangement. Lately I don't spend much time on KZbin, it's getting harder and harder to make time to play the piano.

[@stefani7787]

Qué hermoso ❤️

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Gracias 😊

[@acaloham]

That was impressive

[@MusicMichelleDeGroot]

Enrique, que tal todo? Una preciosa interpretación, suena muy bonito. Que pases un buen día 😊

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Hola, Michelle. Pues ahí vamos, sin dormir, cambiando pañales y haciendo biberones cada 2 horas jeje. Me alegro que te guste! Cada vez es más complicado sacar tiempo para tocar el piano😅

[@MusicMichelleDeGroot]

[@ArmandoOrozcoPiano]

Estupenda interpretación Enrique!. Esa canción es muy bella y representativa de la gran película el Rey León!. Me encantó!. Muchas felicidades por tu gran talento mi amigo!. Un gran abrazo!. 🙂🎹💯👏👏👏🎶🎼👍

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Muchisimas gracias Armando!😊

[@bensonwu1238]

Do you play Circle Of Life on your piano in the way how Elton John sings?

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Actually I based it on the version of the movie sung by Carmen Twillie and Lebo M. Although it is true that I removed the famous intro of "Naaants ingonyama bagithi Baba" because it did not convince me with the piano, so it coincides with the way Elton John's version starts. The part at minute 1:33 does not appear in Elton's version (it only appears in the movie).

[@bensonwu1238]

@@EnriqueLazaroI feel like Elton John's version of this song is way more professional than the movie version because Elton John is a famous musician.

[@kevinmorad1277]

​@@EnriqueLazaroI kind of understand it makes the music less pleasant seems less necessary it's just the piece is quite short whether you add it or not!

From the day we arrive on the planet And, blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high Through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love 'Til we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Thanks for the lyrics! You can also see the synchronized lyrics if you activate the youtube subtitles.😊

Muchisimas gracias Pablo! Me alegra te que haya gustado el arreglo!😊 Te animas a tocarla también?😉😉😉

[@DGPianoUK]

What a beautiful performance. Well done. Colours are spot on and reminds me of the sunset on the cover art. This is actually a real iconic song and I’m surprised you had not covered it sooner.

[@EnriqueLazaro]

That's right, the colors are chosen according to the cover of the movie. I actually played another arrangement 4 or 5 years ago but I deleted it because I was not satisfied with the quality. I thought the best thing to do was to make a whole new arrangement from scratch that would do the song justice.

sensacional vc merece muitos aplausos que vídeo incrível ouvir uma canção dessa muito bem interpretada é bom demais parabens e muito sucesso um forte abraço

Thank you Imago! I'm surprised you haven't covered it on your channel yet😉 It is a very powerful theme.

[@ImagoPiano]

You're welcome! I've changed the direction of my channel a few times, lol, so I'm trying to figure out a balance between what grows a channel vs. what I'm passionate about long term...not easy to find definitely!

Once again, a high quality Disney video! Bravo! Claire 🎹💛

Thank you so much Claire!😊

[@bensonwu1238]

I think Elton John watched the movie "The Lion King" before he wrote Circle Of Life.

tutorial slow please jeje

[@EnriqueLazaro]

Hello, in case it helps you, KZbin allows you to change the speed of the video (0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x). Another option could be to load the midi file in synthesia to see it slower.
