A group of musically gifted children sang a beloved song from the Disney classic “The Little Mermaid.”
Disney’s 1989 animated film “The Little Mermaid” is a movie that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian are memorable characters from the Disney flick. Songs from the movie, such as “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl,” are also beloved tunes. But one track from the movie tops all the rest: “Part of Your World.”
To go along with Disney’s recent release of their live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid,” the award-winning PS22 Chorus performed “Part of Your World.” In a video posted on YouTube, the 5th graders from Staten Island, New York, beautifully belt out the lyrics first sung by Ariel.
In the short, 2-minute clip, one man sits at the piano, playing the familiar tune, as the children, while wearing pink and turquoise-colored shirts, fill auditorium seats. Seconds into the video, one little girl, looking directly at the camera, sings the track’s opening lines. Her fellow chorus members, who sing the next couple of lines, then join in on the fun.
From that point forward, the video goes back and forth. The camera alternates between the children sitting and singing together in the auditorium and the young lady singing solo.
It's a wonderful rendition of a beloved song. All the children are obviously supremely talented, with each showing off their stellar vocal abilities.
According to the group’s YouTube channel, some of the biggest names in music have sung alongside the PS22 Chorus. Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Leslie Odom Jr. all have performed with the children.
Additionally, the description of the “Part of Your World” video mentions the children did sing with one of the cast members of the new “The Little Mermaid” film. Halle Bailey, who plays Ariel in the movie, sang with the children several years ago.
Psalm 95:1 “O come, let us sing to the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”
