:-o

Thank you scorepranos! This is another one I've been wanting for a while in great quality. I hope one day it gets a legit release, until then this will do just fine.

HELL YES!!!! Thanks so much!

Nice! Thanks!

GREAT THANK YOU scorepranos

0.o You just made my year! Thank You!

Great share! Thank you! :)

Sweet! Thank you!

Good god dude, you win the internet! Excellent work!

Well, this is certainly a surprise.

I've never had the chance to formally thank you for your contributions to this site over the years and the many wonderful scores that many of us common folk most probably thought we'd never see. Thank you for all the shares, for putting up with those few who questioned your intentions and demanded more, no matter what you released. Not everyone will be satisfied, no matter what you share, and I'm honestly surprised you've stuck around this long. For me personally, I've acquired with your help a variety of scores I'd given up hope of ever seeing, and will be grateful for a long time to come. Thanks for all the years, and wishing you good fortune in the years to come.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Thany you, humbly. :)

Hell yeah!

Thanks for sharing the greatest animated movie soundtrack ever! + rep

Awesome, thank you.

You sir, are the freaking man!!! Thank You!

Thanks so much scorepranos! Here's wishing for a complete Tarzan or A Bug's Life!

Thank You SO MUCH for this! YOU DA MAN!

I had wondered when this would leak... It seems once you hear somethings coming, it gets put on here very fast lol
love this score

Thanks a lot!

Wow! Truly amazing! Thanks so much for posting this Scorepranos!

Wow ! A big thank you, scorepranos !!!

My god, Thanks a lot:)

C-can I draw paint on your face, say "Simba.." and then hold you up to the crowd for all to see?
Or would that be too weird? :erm:
Don't answer, it's happening.

Thank you so much

OH MY GOD !!!!! thankssssss

Hakuna Matata Scorepranos !

Holy crap, thank you so much scorepranos, absolutely amazing, can't wait to hear this! :)

ggctuk2005 is gonna want to marry you scorepranos as he's wanted this for years now!

Awesome share, scorepranos. Thanks a bunch for this great score!

Oh my God. My favorite Zimmer, animated film and Disney score. That one film mix of a certain Transformers cue aside, I can die now.

Now I'm really ticked off that my 9+ hr shift starts right now

Scorepranos, thank you very very much. This is probably the best thing you cold ever give us

Looks like I know what I'll be listening to all weekend! Thanks!!

Thank you very much!

Thanks scorepranos.

Thank you so much !

Fabulous quality I might add! This isn't really a score I know outside of the main songs, but am on track 4 now and can hear why so many people love it and have wanted it for years. I think you have done a truly amazing thing for a great many people today and I hope no one forgets you for it!

Geez, thank you so much scorepranos! You amaze me again and again every time!

My heart attack hasn't been in vein. Ill download this when I get signed out of hospital. Thanks a million mate!

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say we wish you a speedy recovery.

Thanks a trillion, Scorepranos. I truly appreciate it!!!!!!

Scorepranos, you have done it again. There is no end to your resources. Thank you very much for this, but I really have to go now, I need to climb into my cdr archives so I can ritually burn my copy of the old boot :)

Does this have gaps of silence?

In between cues, yes.

Thank you Scorepranos!

Thank you!!! :)

billion times i can thank you scorepranos for this upload. so many memories, damn, it's so beautiful. thanks a lot!

Thank you again, scorepranos. Another great share.

Cool cover, Thrustmaster!

THANKS! --- one of the greatest shares ever

You have no idea how much you have just made my day. I thank you :D

This does not contain the film versions of 1M2 or 2M3. Now, before you say "Digging, boo you for having a go at scorepranos", I'm making an observation, and will elaborate: I covered both of those myself and so I really don't mind not having the official versions. 9M21 Hawaiian War Chant is also absent, but it can easily be ripped from the movie clean. Go get it, you lazy bums :p

I've been waiting for you to see this and post as I know how long you've wanted it and what it means to you to get it finally! Am really happy for you :-)

Thanks :D

BTW, I'm seeing on the H-Z site an alternate "Mufasa's Dead". I'm assuming this is just an edited version though (probably the album version with the intro from this version stuck on the beginning)

I would also like to add that those who hoarded the (alleged) FYC all this time. IN YOUR FACE. I know you hoarded this because it's rare, and this is the time that I actually feel grateful, not because I got it but because, knowing full-well that many people wanted this, you willingly kept it from us for all this time. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of your own grand disdain, I do wonder? Not a dig at hoarders or traders, just at the Lion King FYC guys.

Oh god I can't believe it !!!! Many many many many thanks !!!! I will cry :) One of my favorite HZimmer's score.... Thanks Scorepranos !

I didn't think an FYC edition of this existed. As for hoarders, I'm sorry to say I know one and someone who really gets off on posting clips of what he has to wind up others on various TV and Disney forums. He did actually used to be a friend until I shared the Disney movie instrumentals on here (my find in the first place, so none of his bloody business), which really pissed him off! He's also one of those people that'll collect something because it's rare and not because he has any genuine appreciation of the music - go figure!

If it did - and truth be told given it was an Academy-awarded score so it should have - it was most likely done via tape and not CD because CDs were not even a twinkle in the eye of digital media that far back. The tapes most likely don't even have good quality any more. In either case, they have egg on their faces.

Plus, an FYC-styled edit was on my to-do list anyways.

My 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Hunchback' instrumental uploads came from cassette tape manufactured in the 1990s and they sounded pretty good indeed after been digitised properly (I used a HX pro studio grade cassette tape deck for the job). If I were to come across the Lion King FYC tape(s), I'd use the same processes as before to get the best quality possible from it.

dude, you rock, thank you!

I'm going to throw a great big thanks out there for this one. It has brought a ray of light to a rather long and frustrating week! Once again thanks!

Thank you so much!

I have seen the FYC for A Bug's Life on cassette on eBay many times....

Many, many, many thanks.

Thanks for this, you are the man.

Hans Zimmer – The Lion King (expanded) | Lost Scores (http://pagemaster65.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/hans-zimmer-the-lion-king-expanded/)

Anyone with Blu-Ray access that can do a screenshot of the Hakuna Matata scene? You know, where they're walking across the bridge?

Wow! Thank you, sir!

Making an inlay or something? I have the Blu-ray, but not a blu-ray drive on my p.o.s. laptop. Can a screenshot be taken somehow with the player or TV?

I have it on Bluray.....Or apparently just the case now it seems.....damn kids.

I've got a blu-ray drive in my laptop, will see what I can do.

P.S.

I think 'The Elephant's Graveyard' one of my most favourite tracks from this.

Scorepranos, were those taken on you computer? Or is there a trick to take a screenshot from a Blu-ray player or HDTV (would not be surprised if there was)

I'm not sure if these are blu ray screenshots or publicity stills. I found these online.

They don't look like Blu-ray screenshots. Definitely not the top. Did anyone think to check Blu-ray.com? There may or may not be a screenshot of the bridge

Here are the higher resolution of the images.

Your a machine release all these rare scores. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing... while not at the top of my want list, I am sure this has been the holy grail for many a Zimmer fan!

All I got was the mono bootleg searching with Google.

It sure is, along with TTRL and TLS, best music Zimmer has ever written.

Thanks Scorepranos for sharing... now I'm only left with the completes/sessions of Inception and TLS. One day, I'm sure!

All I got was the mono bootleg searching with Google.

I wasn't being serious. It was late, I was tired, I saw an opening and I went for it. Scorepranos has many treasures. Many of which he has been generous enough to share

You really are the best, scorepranos! This is my favourite Zimmer score. Quality is really great, too. Thanks!

Hans Zimmer � The Lion King (expanded) | Lost Scores (http://pagemaster65.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/hans-zimmer-the-lion-king-expanded/)

Thanks, T-Mann036 & Pagemaster65 for Covers.

You're welcome as always, SM2PC.

I love this score, and one of my parents who has recently not been that great is also a big fan. Really gave us a bit of cheering up. Thanks a million.

Making an inlay or something? I have the Blu-ray, but not a blu-ray drive on my p.o.s. laptop. Can a screenshot be taken somehow with the player or TV?

I have an external Blu-ray burner that plugs into my laptop via USB. It's perfect. No lag, no issues at all. That's how I back up files, especially my music collection.

Blu-ray.com's screenshots are all watermarked and would probably be of no use for making cover art.

Not interested in this score (or film) but I've known it's been a "grail" for many for a long time so I came to check out the comments. Kudos to Scorepranos once again.

Thanks SO much!

Hooray, thanks! such a wonderful score, still one of Zimmer's absolute bests!

It's About Time! Thank You Scorepranos....

Won't Be Long Until Inception, The Hunger Games And Many Others..... I Hope. :)

Here's two much higher rez images that someone with more talent than myself can use to make a better quality version of the back cover:

Oh I'm quite aware of that. But a clever man can easily take care of that. It's also possible he was looking for a part of the image that didn't have the watermark

Yar, no watermark. I believe watermarks are evil and should all be voiced by Jeremy Irons.

These are perfect! Now I just have to find time to do what I want to do with them.

Inlay, back cover, something.
I don't normally go with the 4:3 ratios for CD box sizes.
I like going for resolutions that fit my monitor when I fullscreen.

Almost like a wallpaper.
I have two monitors, so I'll have to make two.

utterly speechless

Thanks so much!

Amazing Scorepranos! Thanks a lot never thought i'd see this leaked

Thanks, this one won the Upload of the year award for me. Unfortunately in "LK 9M22 Simba & Nala Move In - Final.m4a" there are some audible artefacts at the very end probably due to buggy sample rate convertor. Check 10:27.

"LK 9M22 Simba & Nala Move In - Final.m4a" there are some audible artefacts at the very end probably due to buggy sample rate convertor. Check 10:27.

I only hear a slight "static" buzz for a mere second at 10:27.

"buggy sample rate converter" would imply the music was originally in a different sample rate. Like 48kHz or 88.5kHz or 96.
I don't remember too much from the thread, but I don't remember it saying anywhere the original audio was anything else other than 44.1kHz.
Nothing came up that sticks in my memory.

Very unlikely it's due to a buggy sample rate converter as it appears no sample rate conversion has taken place.

The tags say the files were created using iTunes. But iTunes uses CoreAudioToolbox for it's AAC converions.
The CAT libraries can be extracted and used with QAAC to create AAC (raw files) or M4A (portable media comparability).
This could be just a slight processing error or a slight mastering error.

Using SoX 14.4.1, I've created a spectrogram with a resolution of 1920x1080. You can view it full screen and zoom in and not really see anything out of the ordinary.

Open image in new tab, save, open, zoom in.


Very unlikely it will haunt me when I listen to it in the future.

thank you

It is a DAT tape digital error. That short error was like that on the DAT tape so nothing to be done about it. That sorta thing happens when you're dealing with tapes that's almost 20 years old.
Be glad it didn't happen more often within the score.

I thought as much as my bootleg copy of the 1999 Berlin cast recording instrumentals for 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (Alan Menkin's threatrical re-envisaging of his movie score) has the same artifcat (and worse unfortunately) on a few of the tracks. Incidentally, did you have direct access to the DAT tape itself for this set? Also, is what you posted a copy of someone's DAT copy they made of this much-talked about FYC tape of the score?

I may have had access to the dat ;). I have no idea if it's the same contents as the supposed FYC promo. For one they would not send DAT tapes out as FYC promos. Not all judges are going to go out
and spend $1000 of dollars on a DAT player just to listen to promos lol

Yes I know that. If anything was produced promo-wise for the academy members, it would have been done on cassette tape like another of Hans' scores 'The Preacher's Wife' which I've got was. Also, I was only speculating as to the original source (i.e. a transfer of the cassette tape onto a DAT one), which a fan of the score might have done to preserve it. For example, I've done transfers myself of the instrumental scores to 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Hunchback of Notre Dame', which I originally had on cassette tape and that's what the sound/fidelity of your 'Lion King' tracks reminded me of.

No this was not a cassette to DAT transfer.

The pitch and tone were too even and clean for this to be from a casette

Must be a studio reel-to-reel source then as it's definitely analogue. It's got quite a large dynamic range also and it's amazing such a thing exists outside of Disney's vaults, so you must know some people to have been able to acquire it. At the end of the day, where would any of us be without these leaks and people like you to bring them to us?

The pitch and tone were too even and clean for this to be from a cassette

Yeah you're definitely right there come to think of it. I had to work quite hard on my transfers to correct/perfect them in that respect.

I liked the part where he uploaded them.

Arrrrrrsene Wenger...! (This will make no sense if you don't follow the English Premier League...)

An epic thank you, this is just great, finally some good sound quality!!

It actually sounds like it was originally there to begin with: the album version sounds like that error was cleaned out.

I actually had a quick listen to the bootleg copy I've had for some years now and that is just bloody awful by comparison! Furthermore, to think that's all that existed up until now because of the studios' refusal to release it proper. And there's me thinking (and forever being told by them), they're in business to make money. God, what does it cost to release something that's already been recorded and mastered, and that they hold the copyright to?! The same is true of 'Titanic' and despite the demand for a proper release of that, they're still not budging. The mind boggles...

Thank you... Is there any information which pieces Mark Mancina wrote? Or Nick Glennie Smith?

Contractually, if I'm correct, they would owe money to all the people involved and would have to pay them all again a percentage of what they'd been paid before (from recording team to performers to composer). That's why so few things from the 90's have been re-released (from my understanding)

From what I've seen of these contracts, the potential release of any work undertaken and in whatever form, is usually covered by them from the off.

Thank you... Is there any information which pieces Mark Mancina wrote? Or Nick Glennie Smith?

This is information I found on the soundtrack album.

"I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING" (2:50)
Arranged and Produced by Mark Mancina

"HAKUNA MATATA" (3:33)
Arranged and Produced by Mark Mancina and Jay Rifkin

"CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT" (2:57)
Arranged and Produced by Mark Mancina

Additional Vocal Arrangement: Bruce Fowler, Bobbi Page, Mark Mancina
Score Choral Arrangements by Lebo M., Nick Glennie-Smith, Mbongeni Ngema and Andrae Crouch
Score Conducted By Nick Glennie-Smith

From the looks of it, Mancina was only involved in the songs and Glennie-Smith only served as a conductor and additional arranger which he did on many occasions (at the time).

True, but this being a "rerelease" is not covered. That's the hang up for most any post 90's score

Never thought this was gonna leak. Gonna check it out. Thanks :)

Thank you so much! Can't wait to sit down and listen to the whole score.

I've improved the rear cover and new inlay on page 4, #87. Let me know what you think of the improvements.

They prefer to hold onto these things until they rot rather than pay the re-use fees / royalties to release additional material. Labels like "La-La Land" and "Intrada" have been making good headway but certain titles they aren't privy to, Titanic being one of them because of the same re-use / royalty payment issue. There's nothing special about Titanic that Sony won't release it, they just don't want to have to spend the money to do so.

That is most likely. The album is actually made much the same way because digital methods didn't really exist back in 1994.

The same is true of 'Titanic' and despite the demand for a proper release of that, they're still not budging. The mind boggles...

Yep, the old bootleg is now a memory :P I think it's also clear that the old boot was a badly-ripped version of a DAT tape: I remember the old excuse being that they could only rip one channel from 4M9B to 7M17 because of 'damage' but those tracks were mono and not single l/r channels. Basically, they fucked up ripping it.


Contractually, if I'm correct, they would owe money to all the people involved and would have to pay them all again a percentage of what they'd been paid before (from recording team to performers to composer). That's why so few things from the 90's have been re-released (from my understanding)

I guess I'm not that privvy to contracts, but would this not count if they released a modified CD, like they did with the Lion King Special Edition CD?

Re-releasing an album with the same contents is one thing, but anything that's been added has to be paid for in the same manner (I think) as the original release if it's like a film score with added cues, because technically it would be the first time those additional recordings would be released, making it brand new - at least in the case of the added material only.

But that's just speculation on my part.

But that's just speculation on my part.

That might explain why "The Hyenas" never made it onto any of the English-language re-issues.

Titanic is a good example of this: They re-released both the original Titanic album and the follow-up Back To Titanic last year, and the contents were the same regarding the score.

The added material came in the form of two bonus CDs, one having songs "of the period" and the other recordings made for use in the film by the on-screen orchestra. Neither of them connected to the score and therefore nowhere near as expensive.

The other big issue is of course where this music is recorded. Chances are, if the score is recorded in say, London with an English orchestra the chances of additional score being released are better because the payments are not as high or in some cases don't all apply. Los Angeles-recorded scores with the musicians there...well that's why so many 90's era scores are indeed hard to expand as previously mentioned. This score is probably very tricky because of the different ensembles involved in different countries.

You are too awesome for words mate :D thanks a bunch!

Thank you so very, very much! Always a highlight in my collection and a awesome upgrade to my previous version. You are my personal hero of the day!

Scorepranos, you never cease to prove you are the man!

Just wanted to give my thanks and offer my opinion: Hans Zimmer never composed anything better than this movie! I love what I listen to by him, but, to me, this tops them all. Thank you very much for this!

Thanks!

Thanks you!

Thank you

Thinking in on it, does anybody else suspect they just transferred this from DAT tape to cassette, and then used THAT as the Academy Promo? The content is not 100% complete (I've touched upon this prior) but it does contain everything one would expect an FYC Promo to contain. Also, the titles of practically all the FYC tracks either come from the album, or from the Special Edition film (the first reference I have seen of it came around about the same time the Special Edition DVD came out anyway).

By this extension, I think all the old talk of the FYC Promo is fake: THIS, I believe, is what the FYC probably contained.

BTW, The two missing pieces (film versions of 1M2 and 1M3/2M3) I covered myself. I can upload them if anybody wants them.

I would love a copy of the missing pieces if you would be so kind :)

As my favorite Zimmer score, I second those missing pieces. I'm sure everybody would love to have them

One side order of film versions of 1M2 and 1M3/2M3 coming up!

Be warned, these ARE covers. They're not the original pieces, they're done by ear because there's no sheet music from the film out there that I know of. These are essentially inserts to I edited them into the cue proper. I think I got them as close as I could though, so here you go:

Thanks for the bitrate upgrade, only had a 128k version of this.

Hey, I'm told some people have an alternate version of "Mufasa's Dead" but I've seen no evidence of this. Any verification? I'm just interested on what it may or may not contain (I'm told it's quite "This Land"-esque). By the looks of things it wasn't on this particular DAT tape, or it wasn't ripped.

Thanks for uploading your covers of 1M2 and 1M3/2M3, ggctuk2005. They sound great!

I've just acquired every note of the musical version which includes an expanded version of 'Be Prepared' among others.

Ooh, blimey, does it include all the Zimmer cues the Broadway CD left out? That'd be an interesting hear!

Thanks for adding the FLAC version, Scorepranos. I'll add that along with the MP3 (320kbps) to the collection.

Thank, scorepranos.

Thanks for FLAC!

I wonder if anybody has come across any of the alternative tracks, though. I'm aware of at least three: alternates for Scar's Dinner, Sunrise at Pride Rock and Mufasa's Dead. There's probably one or two more as well, such as an alternate midsection to Circle of Life (with a different pan flute performance). Let's not even get into the film mixes because I'm still deciphering that one.

Thanks for this scoresopranos!

And, also, differences in percussion for Stampede and Homeward Bound in the film. :P

Thanks for the FLAC update :)

Now i hope some label can finally release this, and Mulan too btw!! Maybe Intrada in their series of Disney albums.

I mean physically on a CD, packaged in a nice set with liner notes and all that, and not on a crappy itunes exclusive with a lossy format, that happened few days ago with the Jurassic Park *bah*

Thanks so much for the FLAC upgrade, scorepranos. I'm gonna try saying this as respectfully as I can, but holy crap. Depositfiles has never run this slow on me! It took me nearly 4 hours to get this file! Is it just me or has depositfiles drastically changed their speeds for free users?

Indeedy. Actually, Stampede, I think, is still edited down here. I think if you look to the musical version, there are two sections that exist there that might have been in the original cue just before and during the "Herd Is On The Move" lull

Are you going by the track from that I sent you?

Are you going by the track from that I sent you?

Yes and no: the exact same compostition for The Stampede is present on the Broadway CD. Listening closely, you can hear the brass note before the interlude is reverbed artificially, and you can hear two notes at the end of the interlude that go into the expanded presentation, but in the sessions, they are faded out before they can continue. Mixing the two together, and it sounds quite natural, different performances aside.

Thank you for the flacs!

Thank you so much!

The channels in the film itself sound SFX-ridden to me, and I'm aware in the case of Hakuna Matata they just used the end section of the album, but man, you got all that clean. I wonder how!

Circle of Life is different in the film too IIRC: the lull uses a different pan flute performance, while towards the end, the chorus is shadowing Carme Twillie.

And to go with the above, I present the film mix of "Circle Of Life":

thank u ggctuk2005 :)

Does anybody know anything about the sheet music for The Lion King? I'd love to take a lookie at that.

Thank you so much for this!

If anybody could share the Hawaiian War Chant in lossless, that would be superb.

Thanks!

Wow this is great! Thank you so much for all the time it took to compile and edit this :) It is sincerely appreciated as you can tell.

Quick question! How did you find out what the cue numbers are (ie. 1M1) - any idea where the orchestral sheet music might be hiding?

Quick question! How did you find out what the cue numbers are (ie. 1M1) - any idea where the orchestral sheet music might be hiding?

The cue numbers for the large part were what the score was labelled as. However, the songs are actually straight from the album, not the sessions, so I have no idea how he found out what those cue numbers are. I'm assuming somebody has the sheets, and I'd love to see those.

Well isn't it as simple as inserting the song after whichever cue is played, and then finding out the slate that way? Like let's say there's cue 3m18 and then 3m20. And its a given that said song plays after 3m18 and before 3m20, so wouldn't said song be 3m19? That's just my theory

Sometimes, yes, but the songs usually come between M numbers anyway. Like Be Prepared, which is 4M9 A here. What happened to 3M8/4M8/whicheverM8? I think the only given ones are 1M1 Circle of Life, 7M18 Can You Feel The Love Tonight (owing to the fact that there are no 8Ms at all: that's mislabelled here, I saw a documentary with a glimpse of Nala Simba Mufasa Ghost and it definitely said it was 7M19, not 8M19), and 9M20 Hawaiian War Chant.

The only way to know for certain is if the sheet music for those songs has been presented in some form or another.

Thanks so much for these!

Fulfilling a late request for Hawaiian War Chant. Ripped from the Special Edition DVD because I don't like the sound mix of the Diamond Edition.

Anybody got the Blu-Ray version of the film? How many channels is the audio track? 5.1? 6.1? 7.1? I ask because I seek the last two pieces, the film versions of Scar's Dinner and Sunrise at Pride Rock, and I wonder if the film mix of Stampede can be gotten more cleanly from it.

The Blu-Ray version has the following audio tracks:

Dolby Digital 5.1
DTS 5.1
DTS 7.1 HD MA

The Blu-Ray version has the following audio tracks:

Dolby Digital 5.1
DTS 5.1
DTS 7.1 HD MA

The 5.1 tracks are likely to be similar to the Diamond Edition DVD tracks with poor sound quality. The 7.1 is the one I'm interested in looking at.

Just go to your local library I'm sure it has it there. Mine does..

Likewise. I DID, however, get The Tree of Life on Blu-ray (how dazzling it looked) from my library, although I had to request it via another library. I just picked it up at my library. It still had the digital copy disc and code inside and no one used it!! So I snagged it ;)

The 5.1 tracks are likely to be similar to the Diamond Edition DVD tracks with poor sound quality. The 7.1 is the one I'm interested in looking at.

I've got the blu-ray, which I did rip once but don't remember it having a 7.1 track, just the normal 5.1 version. Will check it when I get back and let you know.
