00:02Sì, guarda qui!
00:06Può costare sempre su un amico grande come te!
00:11You said that you see your songs like a mosaic, so could you explain?
00:18Well, because each song is a part of a greater whole, you know, it's like, you know, every thread of
00:26a jacket, whatever, makes up what's your favorite thread.
00:29Well, it's the whole, you know, musicals are made up of so many different kinds of songs, an opening number
00:38that maybe sets the tone and sets the vocabulary of the score.
00:46And maybe you'll have a song where your character says, this is what I dream of, this is what I
00:50want.
00:51Then you might have a song of celebration along the way, that's just a big, you know, and those make
00:57up a score and a journey.
01:00And you could take the individual parts out, but it's at its most powerful when it's all together.
01:08You saw the Disney Princess evolution through the years.
01:12Jasmine, in the original movie, wanted to marry for love.
01:15Now she wants to be a sultan.
01:18So how was this evolution, in your opinion?
01:20The music changed, too.
01:22Well, we're in a time of people who are, you know, women and people of color, whatever it is in
01:30the world where people are disempowered of fighting that.
01:36And it's a struggle.
01:38It's a struggle in the world, an important one.
01:40And then for, you would know better than I would, for women, this is a time where past men keeping
01:50them silent and allowing them to just be subjugated.
01:54And the song is about, this is my voice, and I want my voice to be heard.
01:59And I want my voice to be important.
02:03The genie says to Aladdin that he wants to fabulize him.
02:08So I want to know, did you ever fabulize one of your songs?
02:12How do you do it?
02:13Fabulize a song?
02:14Well, you do it with arrangement.
02:15I mean, God knows, you know, our genie, Will Smith, fabulized my songs with his performance.
02:22And that affected the arrangement and the orchestration, and it just brought it to a whole new level.
02:30And it's, you know, sometimes you fabulize a song by stripping it back.
02:34If you listen to a whole new world, it's a very intimate arrangement in this movie, but beautiful and very
02:41different than the original,
02:42which is also, I love that arrangement, but I think when you play, when you sort of, it's like giving
02:50someone a new gown to wear.
02:54That person just becomes enhanced.
02:56You see that with a new eye.
02:57I think people can hear these songs with new ears.
03:00Okay.
03:01Thank you so much.
03:02Thank you.
03:02It was an honor.
03:03Oh, thank you.
03:04Thank you so much.
03:13Thank you.
