Prince of Egypt

Listening to the songs again on YouTube. Really amazing stuff... The songs add so much to the story, and I really love the way the choir was used for effect, especially in the opening sequence, and in "The Plagues".

My dream job would be to sing in the choir for all these movies.


It's amazing how they use the reprise of the song, change the style dramatically, and use that to highlight how the relationship has changed completely.
