Jafar's Hour by Alan Menken Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music
By Alan Menken'Jafar’s Hour'
'Jafar’s Hour' is the score which begins the final Act of Disney's animated classic, Aladdin (1992). The scene starts with a Wedding Announcement - the Sultan is thrilled to announce that Princess Jasmine is to wed Prince Ali. Meanwhile, the Genie is now obligated to his new master, Jafar. The genie grants Jafar two wishes, first to rule on high as sultan, and second, to make him the most powerful sorcerer in the world. This score cue heavily references the character leitmotifs for Jafar, and the Magic Carpet. Song melodies from “A Whole New World” (during the Wedding Announcement) and “Friend Like Me" are also referenced. The cue ends with a direct segue to Prince Ali (Reprise), in which Jafar exposes Prince Ali for being the commoner that he really is.Aladdin (1992) was the winner of 2 Academy Awards (best original score and best original song), with many more Oscar winnings to follow for Alan Menken. Orchestrations for the film were done by Danny Troob and Michael Starobin, elevating Menken’s modern Broadway sensibility with rich, symphonic textures in Menken's signature thematic style.This arrangement for solo piano is a reduction of the full orchestra, and is suited for Intermediate+ pianists. Chords are marked throughout. An additional staff is shown as needed to include instrumental elements that could not be fully condensed (for the performer's reference).Check out our arrangements on YouTube!
