Phantom Manor on piano

I've never been to Disneyland Paris, but I know a fair amount about it. One of my main reasons for wanting to go eventually is Phantom Manor, their version of the classic Haunted Mansion. A new, expanded story...a different setting...new effects...and, of course, new music.

Film composer John Debney was hired to adapt Buddy Baker's "Grim Grinning Ghosts" for an orchestral score to the new attraction. The result is wildly different from the leaner, more diegetic cues heard in the Haunted Mansion, but it's vastly thrilling in its own way.

For this piano arrangement, I've prepared some of what I consider the highlights of the experience. Some of the earlier cues are played in their entirety, but the later cues all mush together because of how repetitive they can get when played by just one instrument...and simply because the video'd be too long if I played every cue from start to finish.

The transitions between musical pieces actually parallel those heard on the official Haunted Mansion soundtrack quite well; I like the way they were edited, for the most part. I did change the ending slightly for...dramatic effect. Just listen. And you might want to watch, too, if you're so inclined. ;)

Questions, comments, ratings, and suggestions are always unbelievably welcome! =D Enjoy.

@bobrobert13: It just tended to go too long...felt redundant when it's all played by the same instrument.
