Once upon a time in a faraway land a Prince lived in a shining castle.
Although he had everything that his heart desired, the Prince was spoilt, selfish and unkind.
But then one winter's night, a old beggar woman came to the castle and offered a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.
Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away.
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances for beauty is found within. When he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress.
The Prince tried to apologise but it was too late for she had seen there was no love in his heart and as punishment she transformed him into a hideous Beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle all who lived there.
Ashamed of his monstrous form the Beast concealed himself in his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose which would bloom until his twenty first year.
If he could learn to love another and earn her love by the time last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
As the years passed he fell into despair and lost all hope for who could ever learn love a Beast.

I love how this track sets the tone for the intro, and the film as a whole. The orchestration makes it hauntingly beautiful, and lays out the key leitmotifs very effectively. Alan Menken may not be as great as Jerry Goldsmith, Thomas Newman or James Newton Howard, but he's got a style that shaped a lot of '90s Disney films and is quite underrated.

I remember seeing the play of this movie at the Muny here in St. Louis. It's an outdoor theater to those who don't know what I'm talking about. It was in the summer so it was hot. But the performance was absolutely gorgeous and to my young, childhood brain at the time, it was absolutely magical. Every time I hear this music, it brings me back to that memory.
