    A little story about How Ave Verum Corpus made connection with To Die For.

    Dear AC,

    I just got off the phone with my good friend Hans Zimmer, composer of Disney's The Lion King. After a pleasant talk about nothing in particular, you know, about that time with the guy in the predicament at that place--and I'll never forget it, hilarious--HZ's tone suddenly changed.

    "You know what, Appleton? Sometimes I feel under-appreciated as a composer. Sure I've done alright--four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, one Academy Award, and all. Gladiator was okay, Pirates of the Carribbean was likeable enough, Dark Knight had some catchy chords, and Inception was...well, let's just say our minds were all blown on more than one count. But I have one great wish."

    "What's that?" I asked.

    "I want to be hailed as a true German genius. I went to a lot of effort to cleverly and beautifully insert a theme from Mozart's 'Ave Verum Corpus' into the piece 'To Die' in The Lion King, but nobody seems to have noticed. Uncultured swine," he moaned.

    "Sorry, what? I didn't catch that last part. Wait, Mozart in The Lion King? I didn't notice any Mozart. Maybe my hearing was shot after having to listen to Jonathon Taylor Thomas sing at the very beginning. Where's the Mozart at?" I queried.

    Zimmer pulled out a score of "Ave Verum Corpus."

    "For some reason, my only recording of 'To Die' is in this Finnish release of the movie. At 0:40 on the clock, follow along with the Mozart score, picking up at 'praegustatum' at bar 33 in the tenor and bass parts."

    I did what he asked, and, sure enough, there it was, nearly note for note.

    "HEAR THAT? HEAR THAT?" Zimmer shouted excitedly.

    "Loud and clear Hans," I replied.

    "If only more people would hear. I should have kept it in the original key instead of transposing it two half-steps up. Then the masses would've picked up on it for sure."

    "Oh, right. That'd do it," I thought to myself.

    Bam. Question answered. Except that none of that exchange is actually true. I'm not actually close friends with Mr. Zimmer. Nor do I know anyone who is. A little unfair a question, to ask about the mind of a musical celebrity. How should I know? I could ask him, but somehow I think it would take a while to get a personal audience with the Hans Zimmer. While internet theories abound, there is no report of Zimmer ever saying that the similarity between the two pieces was intentional. However, it may very well have been, as it fits the scene rather well, with the entrance of death and the like.The hymn is about the death of Christ.

    This isn't really an actual sighting since you'd expect to see TLK things in a kiosk selling TLK merchandise at Disney World, but this is a little detail my sister noticed while I was purchasing some stuff (*cough*Pumbaa pillow pet*cough*). The CM working there said he hadn't noticed it before. It is kind of up in the rafters, so it's kind of a hard thing to notice. We thought it was a lovely little detail.

    It is extremely similar, would surely have to be intentional I would think. Then again, perhaps he composed it having heard Ave Verum Corpus in the past, but it's one of those things that you've forgotten and you don't even realise you're imitating in in something original.

    Very interesting.
    That which you manifest is before you.

    I realized that the whole article is satire made by someone.

    At least he mention how Ave Verum Corpus made on Mufasa Died on the article.

    This is in the new little kiosk across from Harambe Theater where Festival of The Lion King is located.

    Will they sell (or be) Gramophone/Vinyl for the soundtrack? Seems everyone go back to basic at the moment.

    Hot Topic did have the soundtrack on vinyl, but I don't think they still have it.

    Assuming you're talking about the movie soundtrack, it's still available online, as of this post:

    http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Dis...e-10159541.jsp

    If you mean the Festival of the Lion King soundtrack, I think that's only available on CD.

    It's the standard edition soundtrack, though that would be neat.

    There is a nice, but more general interview with Andreas Deja (animator of Scar) at the Disney blog:
    http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2014...-andreas-deja/
    But there are still a few drops about TLK, e.g.

    ...At one time we even had a few real lions brought to the studio in order to study them up close. Some of us had the chance to touch a big lion’s mane… I cautiously used my non-drawing left hand, just in case.
    :-D
