Sheléa Melody McDonald, who performs the two original songs in EPCOT's new nighttime spectacular Luninous, has confirmed plans to bring the soundtrack to streaming platforms.

In a recent post on Instagram, Sheléa replied to a request for the soundtrack to come to streaming and replied, "We're working on it!"

Alongside new arrangements of Disney songs, Luminous includes the original tracks "Heartbeat Symphony," written by Scott Hoying, A.J. Sealy, Sheléa Melody McDonald, and "Beating of Our Hearts," by The Heavyweights - Jack Kugell, Jamie Jones, and Matt Wong.

Disney has released soundtracks on streaming platforms for several recent theme park additions, including Harmonious and Journey of Water - Inspired by Moana. The Harmonious soundtrack came to streaming about a month after debuting at EPCOT.

I wish if they had to cut a song they cut Heartbeat Symphony, I feel like a full version of One Heartbeat would have been a stronger opening

Im sorry but These "two shows" and (songs) were made for a temporary event basis.

This is the view from in front of Yacht Club. They do not pipe in music. https://photos.smugmug.com/2023-12-28-Disney-BCV/i-5v5pFv8/0/FXJ6c3pCw8NLfn98NVXKfF77GVv5KDj7pVZ2QW8n6/L/DSC_9023-Edit-L.jpg

I'm willing to bet it was in the show originally and then was cut for some reason and that there's a full non-acoustic version of it out there. I don't know if it was the original finally song but it definitely seems like it was in the show at some point and then was cut so they decided to put it in the post show.

It must have been the original finale song, right? There must be a non-acoustic version on a hard drive somewhere. I wish we could hear it

I know…damn near 20 years they went on…and on…and on…like, we get it! Why don’t you go on, now, and leave! Ironically, it was followed by Epcot Forever. Epcot’s nighttime spectacular crew seems obsessed with permanence.

I don't know. Circle of Life was pretty good back in the day. Both both were much better than that generic and uninspiring "We Go On" crap. Because IP.

I applaud you for being honest enough with yourself and with this group to self-correct in an open forum. There's not enough of that on this site and I appreciate it so much when I see it.

Do you need a reservation for Beaches and Cream? Also, I'm gonna move this to a trip planning thread. Want me to @ you?

It’s hit or miss but sometimes. Boardwalk does not iirc bc of their live performers.

Do they play the music over there?

Get Dinner at Beaches and Cream and watch the show from the Yacht and Beach lighthouse dock. Awesome spot with the fireworks reflecting on the lake.

Well I'm 3 for 3 for seeing this show and it making me teary-eyed. I guess I'm a fan. I feel bad for badmouthing it when it debuted and I hadn't seen it yet, but Harmonious really left a bad taste in my mouth.
