This Obscure Disney World Music is GORGEOUS

In this video we analyze a short clip of music from The Walt Disney World Official Album. The song title is "Spaceship Earth" and it was composed by Bruce Broughton. Source: Walt Disney Records. This educational analysis creates key concepts to help composers write better music.
The score is transcribed by ear. I use Dorico and Cubase for my sheet music and production.

I like your B7#11 for measure 3, I think it makes a lot of sense such as the E# resolving down to a D#, but also the G natural in the horns as a b13 resolving downwards to an F#. The A natural 7 would normally resolve to a G# in an E major chord, but in this case, we resolve to the mediant chord of G(/B) in measure 4 instead, which is also a common substitute resolution. Further arguments could be that B7 is a dominant chord, on which it's common to have extensions of #11 and b13, and also which are commonly placed on measure 3 of a phrase. Maybe for measure 2 I would say we have a G#m/B with add 6 (E#) and sus9 (A#). The G natural (functionally an F##) is clearly a leading tone and could be notated as such or ignored. NIce video!

Thanks so much! That was a great response. You know your theory very well.

@@91kap I do love Ellen’s Energy Adventure! There’s a whole soundtrack to spaceship earth?

@@BrandonLaukat oh yeah, both for the current version and the 1994 version, which I find a bit more epic. There’s definitely recordings of the full the full source music for most rides around

The cue that starts at around 14:11 is where the matrix tunnel is today (similar tunnel was there then) and leads into the planetarium.
