Spectromagics version of Baroque Hoedown that was never used

I once discovered that Spectromagic was going to have an orchestrated or slower version of Baroque Hoedown but the idea was scrapped. Eisner probably shot it down so they could return the old one after seeing the cost of maintenance and future repairs but back on topic... Is there any tracks anywhere I can find of this version of Baroque Hoedown?

From what I can gather, the concept of a slower Baroque Hoedown was only a suggestion brought up by music designer Don Dorsey early in the planning stages of the parade - early enough that they were still calling it ElectroMagic. If he did create any sort of demo of what he had in mind, I get the feeling only people with Martin Smith-tier levels of access would be able to get a hold of it.

I love Martin Smith Disney videos. It's very educational for past attractions and shows.

Hm.... now THAT would've been interesting to see. I can't imagine Baroque Hoedown with a slower tempo. Let me get back on that one.

Wow. At 1/2 speed, it sounds really good and possibly could've even fit Spectro. Now I'm even more curious.

Im wondering if the finale section of Electrical Parade dreamlights was originally recorded for the Spectromagic clavicade. Besides the Japanese section the vocals are very similar as well as the orchestra and if you listen carefully to the finale underliner the it had a real early 90's kick to it.

I love that version of It's A Small World so much!

Martin has alot of Walt Disney World music which are mostly hard to find. Such as the old background for Spectromagic from 1991 - 1993.
He has some underliner tracks in his video that have never even made it to the parade route, one of them being my most favorite one and was hoping by some blind luck they would use it when it was expected to come back not to mention would be the first time ever to use it.

There's a possibility that the soft one that starts at 46:09 in Martin's video was mixed into the music when the Spectromen's Whirlypods came out. I say "possibility" because this was the case in another tribute video I watched, but I don't know whether or not it was wholly accurate.

EDIT: You can hear it quite clearly at the beginning of this video:
