The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor

In honor of Walt Disney’s December birthday, this week on The Soundtrack Haley Taylor spotlights one of Disney’s greatest creative decisions—not a film, not a character, but a composer: George Bruns. From Sleeping Beauty’s lush Tchaikovsky‑inspired score to the jazzy, rough‑edged brilliance of One Hundred and One Dalmatians and the Parisian swing of The Aristocats, Bruns helped define the sound of Disney animation throughout the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. It’s a celebration of the unsung genius behind an era of Disney magic—perfect for longtime fans and curious listeners alike.

 

Haley Taylor hosts “The Soundtrack,” every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. where she explores the scores of the silver screen. Tune in for an hour of unforgettable film music with a look at the composers and the stories that made these melodies sing. Stay connected by following #TheSoundtrack on Instagram.
