Disney's Fantasmic Music Composer?

[Brian W. Ralston]

Does anyone know who composed the music for the Disney nighttime
show FANTASMIC? (I believe this show is only at Disneyland -
California and not in Florida). The music for the show,
specifically the Fantasmic theme is very good and
very..."Disney". There are segments of the show which have
music from various Disney films, but it is not these themes I am
asking about. It is the ORIGINAL music for the show.

Thanks ahead of time!

I have the CD to FANTASMIC and as far as I can make out from the weird
way they listed the composers, the main themes are by Bruce Healey. Fun
score, fun show...I saw it just before it officially opened in '92; they
were doing some test runs at the park and were experimenting with the
fire on the river, etc.

I recall that William Kidd (a VERY busy orchestrator here in L.A.) did a
lot of work on the original music for the show.

I recently had very good success in contacting the Disney folks
themselves over such questions. Mine was regarding the composer of
"Spectromagic" (the answer was John Debney).

You might try sending your question to:

The CD for the show credits Bruce Healey and Barnette Ricci with the
"Fantasmic!" themes. Bruce Healey also produced the "Fantasmic!"
recording.
