ġ990 Original Score - music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman. Work tape, demo and master recordings of cut songs have been released in several formats, notably on the 1994 The Music Behind the Magic box set, the 2004 special edition soundtrack and the 2004 DVD release of the film. Menken composed several additional songs for the subsequent story revisions following Ashman's 1991 death, prior to Tim Rice's involvement with the project. Three songs from this score - "Arabian Nights", " Friend Like Me" and " Prince Ali" - survive in the final film. This story treatment incorporated several plot elements from the original folk tale and additional characters that were eliminated during later story development. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken composed several songs for an initial story treatment of Aladdin prior to beginning work on Beauty and the Beast.
