Performance Rights to Park Music?

So...I'm sitting here in my student center listening to two competing pieces--"Illuminations: RoE" on my iPod and something being played in a nearby room by our wind ensemble. And the thought occurred to me--has Disney ever made the performance rights available to music written for its theme parks, and could it ever happen? It would be pretty neat to hear other orchestras play a piece as thrilling as "I:RoE" and to have that piece perhaps enter the canon of legitimate music. It's a fantastic orchestral composition, fireworks or no.

Is this just wishful thinking? I know they've allowed the existing recording of "I:RoE" to accompany ABC's inauguration coverage in the past, which is different of course, but who knows...

God bless the "Ignore" button.
Can't say I know, but I would assume that it would be allowed if you go through the proper steps. I'm a music ed major right now, and I fully plan on doing a marching band show based off of the park music some day.

Ahhh...I'm not involved in any musical group on campus and would have no say in anything my school decided to perform, but just knowing that an arrangement is out there puts a huge smile on my face. :D Thank you both! I guess I've just started thinking more and more about the "afterlife" of RoE now that SkyDance rumors have picked up...

The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps Played "Millennium Celebration" (the name of the music in ROE) in 2000,

The start of the show is chopped off but the rest is there. Was a really good show. As is Most Drum Corps.

As a Side note, DCI (Drum Corps International) Is sponsored by Disney, Anyone remember the "marching band" from a few years ago that had a ton of different uniforms Thats was The DCI honor corps made up of members from most of the competing DCI corps.

I went to the World Scout Jamboree last summer and they performed at one the shows "Promise" from the Millenium celebration and replaced 1000 years (millenium celebration) with 100 years ( centenary of scouting).

I have heard "Golden Dream", the finale music to the American Adventure show from the American Pavillion in EPCOT, performed by a High School choir. I was really well done and many of the people in the audience had never heard it before.

For the Happiest Homecoming on Earth (or for the rest of us, the Happiest Celebration on Earth) the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra performed a Concert called "The Happiest Music from the Happiest Place on Earth". And to start the second act they performed an Epcot Medley.

The arrangement of Reflections of Earth kind of stunk, but the fieldwork rocked!

Yeah, I admit that knowing what the original sounds like, it was defintely odd in some places.
Like the drum solos, while cool, were kinda thrown in there in a "we need a drum solo segment". And the ending sounded like they were running out of time and "oh crap, we need to get to the end of the music NOW!"
