Cinderella (Picture Disc), by Disney, is the soundtrack of the film of the same name. In 1946, story artist and part-time lyricist Larry Morey joined studio music director Charles Walcott to compose the songs. Cinderella would sing three songs: Sing a Little, Dream a Little while overloaded with work, The Mouse Song as she dressed the mice, and The Dress My Mother Wore as she fantasizes about her mother's old wedding dress. In an effort to recycle an unused fantasy sequence from Snow White, the song, Dancing on a Cloud was used as Cinderella and the Prince waltz during the ball. After the ball, she would sing I Lost My Heart at the Ball and the Prince would sing The Face That I See in the Night. However, none of their songs were used. Two years later, Disney turned to Tin Pan Alley songwriters Mack David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston to compose the songs. They were the first professional composers to be hired outside the production company The trio had previously written the song Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba that Walt heard on the radio and decided would work well with the Fairy Godmother sequence. They finished the songs in March 1949. Oliver Wallace composed the score, but only after the animation was ready for inking, which was incidentally similar to scoring a live-action film. This was a drastic change from the earlier Disney animated features in which the music and action was carefully synchronized in a process known as mickeymousing. The film also marked the launching of the Walt Disney Music Company. The soundtrack was also a first in using multi-tracks for vocals. With the song Sing, Sweet Nightingale, Ilene Woods records a second and third vocal track to enable her to sing harmony with herself
