Cinderella: On the big screen — Friday

During this week of "Intermezzo," we bring you The Brothers Grimm 1812 version of "Cinderella," complete with a few twists.

Hear today's full episode by clicking "Listen" above or from your preferred podcast app.

There are many musical versions of the story of "Cinderella," but which one will we encounter today?

Yesterday, we heard music from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s TV musical Cinderella. Today, we’ll sample some film music for the "Cinderella" story

Composer Patrick Doyle wrote the film score for the 2015 movie "Cinderella."

Here’s a section toward the end which describes Cinderella’s gentle spirit and why she deserves a happy ending.  It’s called "Courage and Kindness."

What parts of the music make you think of kindness and courage?
