CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT
Piano Solo Cover Theme, from Walt Disney’s Pictures “The Lion King”

Music by Elton John
Piano arrangement by Gabriele Filippi

Taken from the 1994 animated musical drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures, this piano solo arrangement penned by Italian musician Gabriele Filippi is conceived to grasp the most gentle and epic folds of the renowned film The Lion King.

Followed by various and successful theatrical and musical adaptations, this theme is iconographically recognized as the most representative of that film. Recognized by many as a love song par excellence, the original version was meant to follow Dinsey's tradition of great love songs.

Here, in this cover theme, Filippi aims to capture the most permeating tusche, offered with the wise musicality of the original idea. As for all his musical scores, Filippi offers a detailed arrangement, complete with dynamics, ligatures, pedal lines, and tempo variations. All these elements are designed to direct even the most inexperienced performer towards a pragmatic expressiveness, but which will certainly also offer further inspiration for even the most experienced pianist.
