Hi all,

I play piano for an amateur choral group near where I live, and when we put on concerts I am often asked to perform a solo, usually of classical music, since that's what I'm educated in.

However, in August we are doing a more light-and-bright concert, and I've decided to write an arrangement of some of the music (by ear) from the first LBT film and to perform it as my solo. As some of you know, the composer James Horner was killed recently in a plane crash, and though I'd already started writing the medley before his death, I've decided to complete it as a tribute to his memory, as he wrote the music to many of my favourite films as a child (The Pagemaster, Jumanji, etc).

I'm not in charge of filming the concert, so there might be a wait until I can get a copy of the concert and upload my solo to show you guys, but I'll get it as soon as I can. The music is only from the soundtrack of the first film in the series, and I've used most of the main themes from the film, including The Great Migration, If We Hold On Together, and Whispering Winds (Littlefoot's Mother's death scene).

I'll be uploading the recording here, on my Youtube channel, where I put all my arrangements.

Thanks for reading, and I can't wait for you to hear it!

I'm Matthew! You can call me Matthew, or Picherity, or Matt, or Pich, or - whatever you like, really. I'm 22, from Australia, and I'm an amateur writer and classical pianist.

I've been visiting this site for a few years now, habitually checking the deleted scenes thread to see if anything new came up.
I decided to join up recently because something quite exciting happened. I was at the Op Shop just down the road from my flat, and I found a VHS copy of LBT. I already have the first LBT on video, but I noticed that this copy had an outdated Universal logo on it. I bought it (two bucks! woo ;D) and later discovered that the logo was used by Universal until 1990; so I got all excited, thinking, 'omg, what if this copy is from 1988 and has some deleted stuff on it that everyone's been looking for all this time?!'
I don't have a video player at my place, but my mum has, so when I get a chance I'll watch it and see if it's a regular copy or not. Probably there's nothing special about it, but I can dream, can't I???

Till then, thanks for reading, and nice to meet all of you!
