In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Choral and Vocal Arrangements from

Brave

Brave is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and co-directed by Steve Purcell. Chapman drew inspiration from her relationship with her own daughter. The film's voice cast features Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, and Robbie Coltrane. To create the most complex visuals possible, Pixar completely rewrote their animation system for the first time in 25 years.

Set in the Scottish Highlands, the film tells the story of a princess named Merida who defies an age-old custom, causing chaos in the kingdom by expressing the desire to not be betrothed. After consulting a witch for help, Merida uses a spell which transforms her mother into a bear. Merida must act to undo the spell before its effects become permanent. Brave premiered on June 10, 2012, at the Seattle International Film Festival, and was released in North America on June 22, 2012, to both positive reviews and box office success. The film won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

Audrey Snyder : Brave

Celebrating the power of the human spirit and the connections between us, this contemporary pop anthem by Sara Bareilles encourages people to speak up and advocate for themselves. She wrote, there's so much honor and integrity and beauty in being able to be who you are, (and) it's important to be brave because by doing that you also give others permission to do the same. Available separately: SAB, SSA, 2-Part, ShowTrax CD.

Mac Huff : Truly Brave

Truly Brave is a special mash-up of two great songs: Brave and True Colors. As a part of the NBC Today Show's Shine a Light series, Hoda Kotb brought together Sara Bareilles and Cyndi Lauper to create this arrangement and to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer. Most importantly, it captures the heart-breaking strength and live-for-the-moment attitudes that these kids with cancer have to have. Duration 3:45
