Today, Disney Cruise Line shared a look at a recording session for Disney Hercules held in Nashville, Tennessee. In the Ship Log update on the Disney Parks Blog, it was revealed that a small group of singers from Orlando, Florida. joined forces with a 17-voice choir of some of Nashville’s greatest gospel singers to reimagine the iconic soundtrack from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film with a soulful, high-energy twist.

A fresh take on the musical arrangements was brought to life by an orchestra of nearly 70 talented musicians, plus a 10-piece marching band drumline.

The group dedicated more than 50 hours to producing the 55-minute soundtrack for the show, which includes an all-new theatrical rendition of “Shooting Star” – a song originally written for the film that didn’t make the final cut, but the audio recording by Irish boy band Boyzone did appear on a number of audio releases from Disney over the years.

Now that the music is complete, the team will focus on developing show elements like props, choreography and costumes in preparation for future cruise guests this November when the Disney Destiny sets sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
