    Unreleased songs and score

    [edit]

    Cut songs

    [edit]

    Howard Ashman and Alan Menken composed several songs for an initial story treatment of Aladdin prior to beginning work on Beauty and the Beast.[13][14] This story treatment incorporated several plot elements from the original folk tale and additional characters that were eliminated during later story development. Three songs from this score - "Arabian Nights", "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" - survive in the final film.

    Menken composed several additional songs for the subsequent story revisions following Ashman's 1991 death, prior to Tim Rice's involvement with the project.[13]

    Work tape, demo and master recordings of cut songs have been released in several formats, notably on the 1994 The Music Behind the Magic box set,[13] the 2004 special edition soundtrack and the 2004 DVD release of the film.[15]

    1990 Original Score - music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman.[13]
