Reimagining Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite – Music Compilation

This is the complete compilation of the Reimagining Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite – music by Craig Harris originally composed for the dance theater production Sleeping Beauty by Minneapolis-based company Ballet of the Dolls.

Reimagining Sleeping Beauty is Craig Harris’ ballet suite revisiting the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. In Reimagining Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty remains in hibernation in the middle of the forest until she is found after 100 years, and she is put on exhibition in a museum. Sleeping Beauty awakens and finds herself in our current era, faced with confusing notions about beauty and meaning in life. Her story unfolds, and Sleeping Beauty returns to the moment of her demise, when she pricked her finger on the spinning wheel and fell into a deep sleep.

Reimagining Sleeping Beauty was originally developed in collaboration with Artistic Director/Choreographer Myron Johnson and dance-theater company Ballet of the Dolls in 2003, and produced at the company’s space The Dance Factory. Reimagining Sleeping Beauty has been adapted from that original scenario.

The music for the Reimagining Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite includes “Ballet I Performance & Reception,” “Irina’s Swan Song,” “Vicky’s Matinee,” “Julian and Vicky pas de deux,” “Red Shoes Fairy Tale,” “Trio Triage,” “Vicky Dies,” and “Fairy Tale Returns.”

Reimagining Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite is available as a physical CD, and sound tracks are available for download as a compilation or as individual tracks in mp3 format (great for general music listening), or in wav format (high resolution listening and public presentation). The CD containing Reimagining Sleeping Beauty also includes the music from Craig Harris’ The Red Shoes Ballet Suite.
