“A Whole New World - Level 2A Showtime Disney - Pg. 8–10” is a three-page beginner piano arrangement of the song from Disney’s Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The music is marked Moderately fast and written in 4/4. This arrangement keeps the melody simple and clear, with lyrics printed under the notes, finger numbers included throughout, and mostly easy left-hand support. The student part uses long slurs, simple rhythms, repeated melodic shapes, and a few position shifts to help the piece sound smooth and singing.
Measures 1–8 introduce the opening phrase, “I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid.” The right hand carries the melody in a calm, vocal style, while the left hand supports with long bass notes and simple chord tones. The music begins at mf, then settles into a gentle lyrical sound.
Measures 9–16 continue with “Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?” The right hand moves into the black keys and uses small stepwise motion, while the left hand adds occasional low notes and simple harmonic support. A p marking in measure 15 gives this phrase a softer ending.
Measures 17–24 begin the next large phrase with “I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder.” This section returns to the earlier melodic shape, keeping the rhythm and phrasing easy to recognize. The left hand again uses long supporting notes, allowing the right-hand melody to remain the main focus.
Measures 25–32 continue with “Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride.” The melody rises and falls gently, with a few small shifts marked in the score. The left hand stays simple, giving the student time to focus on smooth phrasing and accurate melody notes.
Measures 33–end bring in the title phrase, “A whole new world,” and lead the arrangement toward its close. The right hand continues the singing melody, while the left hand provides simple bass support and held tones. The final measures give the piece a clear, gentle ending that matches the dreamy character of the song.
Interesting fact: “A Whole New World” was written for Disney’s 1992 animated film Aladdin. The song became one of Disney’s most famous movie songs and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
