Does anyone know if this composition that was included on the hard-to-find Disney "Winter" LP by Camarata has appeared on any other LPs or CDs?

I wonder if this had been written for a film. Nice music, isn't it?

What a nice piece. I actually have this LP, and never appreciated this piece until now. Another mystery on this LP is a cut by Victor Young called "The Silver Tree," which also turns up on the Capital LP FRANK SINATRA CONDUCTS TONE POEMS OF COLOR under the name of "White." Once again, was it written for a film or for an LP?

The Victor Young piece "White" is at least partly based on the "Rome" track from his THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN score.

Since I started this thread, I found the Camarata Winter album on reel tape and it is gorgeous stereo. I believe the LPs were mono only, but I could be wrong. I am going to have a friend digitize this for me. There are several gems on the album among the more typically encountered winter-themed tunes. The arrangements all have a nice sparkly wintry sound. I cannot wait to play this at Christmastime.

I just looked it up on Spotify, and it's in stereo there as well.

I have stereo LPs of WINTER and SPRING. Haven't come across the other two in stereo yet.

Lovely indeed.

I can confirm it's not from the two-part episode of "Gunsmoke" he and Hayes scored, "Waste".

Cool! I know it's August, but have you listened to it yet? It's a very nice album.

Interesting! Do you covers have stereo banners across the top? Or other identifiers? I ask because I don't think I've ever seen a stereo copy of these albums, at least not easily identified on the sleeve.

Just the track you highlighted so far. But yes, it's in my list of albums. Thanks for raising it. I'm hot and cold on this kind of thing, but hotter on this one, though it's, um, colder...... smile

There are about 4 tracks on here that don't typically pop up elsewhere, including "Majestic Cascades." I love albums that allow me to gently transition into the holidays without getting hit over the head with Santa Claus and Johnny Mathis. This will be one of those. Les Baxter's "Space Escapade," while not a holiday album, also has a twinkly sparkly winter sound. And then there is my ongoing happy housewife project that I have curated, including the kinds of things that Jim Phelps famously discusses in his "Bustling City Cues" thread.

No, both are essentially the same as the mono covers but with a yellow "Disneyland Stereophonic" sticker pasted in the upper left corner. The WINTER cover is truly a mono cover, even quoting the mono catalog number (WDL-3026) everywhere but on the LP label, but at least the SPRING cover shows the catalog number as STER-3032.

Thanks, that explains why I've never seen a stereo copy. It is possible that the sticker had fallen off or was peeled off.

I received this LP as a present from my grandparents when I was a kid. It's utterly beautiful lush wintery music. I adore it.

OnyaBirri did you ever come across a CD version in the years since you began this thread? I woud love to get this one back in my life.

No, but I did get a good deal on a 7.5 IPS reel tape. I believe it is also available for streaming.

Glad you could find the reel of this since it seems pretty rare!

It's disappointing when albums like this one are available on streaming but not for purchasing as a download. Maybe Disney will put it on one of those only available at parks CDs in the future I hope.

There is so much oddball Disney stuff on the Disneyland and Buena Vista labels that we will probably never see. If we're lucky enough to find an LP, it will probably be trashed, because it was ostensibly for kids.

Camarata did some crazy futurist outer space album for Disney. It may have been a Tomorrowland tie-in, but I can't remember.
