When You Wish Upon a Star (414.01.Perc.ad lib) Originally written for the animation film Pinocchio, When you Wish Upon a Star was an immediate hit and soon became the iconic tune associated with the Disney studios. It remains one of the most performed and recorded of all standard tunes. In 2009 it was judged "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the US Library of Congress and included in the National Recording Registry. Performance note: Take a gentle tempo but not too slow, keep a flow. Always play with a cantabile, expressive style. Percussion is desirable but optional.
