Hi Everyone! I am so excited about this episode of the podcast! It is about a new group called DCappella! They are an A Cappella group put together by Deke Sharon, and they just released their first record on Nov. 16, 2018! They are so good, and such an exciting find! I know that you will love what you hear, and believe me, you will also be able to tell how excited I am about them! I mentioned in the podcast about the books by Deke Sharon, they are: 1. A Cappella Arranging 2. So You Want to Sing A Cappella 3. A Cappella 4. The Heart Of Vocal Harmony You can find all of the on Amazon.com. As always, I would love to hear from you!

Hi All! This week we are talking about an under appreciated Disney movie, Pocahontas. It is a beautifully animated film with an amazing score and songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. It was their first collaboration, and I believe it was a great one! It was also a change for Disney to try and create a serious animated movie. As always, I would love to hear from you! I want this to be a conversation, not just a one way conversation (which really isn't a conversation. That is more of a lecture!) You can reach me on Facebook at Magic Music Review.

Hello! Today we explore some of the "Darker Side" of Disney music by listening to some songs about and sung by villains! Villains are some of my favorite characters, and they also have some of my favorite songs. Some of the songs are funny, some are scary, and all of them are great! Disney Villains - Simply Sinister Songs are just some of the many villain songs in the Disney canon of music. It's a great addition to any Disney music lovers collection! As always, I would love to hear from you! I want this to be a conversation, not just a one way conversation (which really isnt' a conversation. That is more of a lecture!)

Hi! Today we are going to take a look at the feline creature! We are talking about the Disney Animated Feature "The Aristocats"! In this episode we talk a little about French music of the time and listen to a little bit to get a flavor of France before we listen to all of the rest of the music. We also go over the story line, and insert the music at the places it should be. It's a fun short episode that I hope you like! As always, I would love to hear from you!

Hi Everyone! This episode we are going to the Circus with DUMBO!! I love the circus! I love circus music and the romance and nostalgia of going to the circus! Especially the circus around the turn of the 20th century!  In this episode we talk a little about the history of circus music and listen to a few circus marches. We then dive into the music of the animated feature Dumbo! I believe Dumbo has some of the most iconic music in the Disney music catalogue, including one of my favorite Disney songs! I'm excited to share this episode with you all! As always, I would love to hear from you! I want this to be a conversation, not just a one way conversation (which really isnt' a conversation.

Welcome to the Magic Music Review Podcast. The place to talk about our love of Disney music. In episode 1, I talk about Disney's entry into the sound film world with Steamboat Willie. It is the beginning of music at Walt Disney Studios and I thought, what a better way to start the podcast then at the beginning.
