CELINE DION TO PERFORM ORI
“HOW DOES A MOMENT LAST FOREVER”
FOR DISNEY’S “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”
BURBANK, Calif. (Jan. 19, 2017)
– Five-time GRAMMY® winning and best-selling recording artist Celine
Dion will perform an all-new original song, “How Does A Moment Last
Forever,” for Disney’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast.” The song will
also be included on the film’s soundtrack.
Written
by eight-time Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken (“The Little
Mermaid,” “Aladdin”) and veteran lyricist and three-time Oscar winner
Tim Rice (“The Lion King,” “Evita”), “How Does A Moment Last Forever” is
an emotional ballad about holding onto life’s precious moments.
Portions of the song are performed throughout the film and interpolated
into the underscore before Dion’s full-length version debuts in the
film’s custom main-on-end title design.
Says
Dion, “Being a part of the original ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was such a
magical experience in my life, and I'm truly honored to be a part of
this film again.”
President
of Music for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production, Mitchell
Leib, approached the artist on behalf of the project with the idea of
recording one of the three new songs written for the film. “Celine was
the unanimous choice of the filmmakers and studio to perform this song,”
says Leib, “And everyone involved with the film is thrilled she agreed
to be part of this new live-action adaptation.”
Dion originally performed the duet “Beauty and the Beast” – featuring Menken’s haunting melody and two-time Oscar-winner Howard Ashman’s unforgettable lyrics – with Peabo Bryson for the animated film. The song became an instant classic and went on to receive an Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and three GRAMMY Awards.
