This documentary, created by BYU–Hawaii student Brigham Busania, follows the journey of our Studio Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Henderson as they prepared for Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, and the Golden Age of Kiddie Records. Over several months, Brigham captured the process of bringing rare and unpublished music back to life—pieces that had not been performed live since their original Hollywood recording sessions 75 years ago.
As a research-powered ensemble, the Studio Orchestra meticulously reconstructed these works, taking them from archival manuscripts to live performances. This film offers a behind-the-scenes look at that journey, highlighting the dedication of our musicians and the students working behind the scenes to develop their expertise in music research, performance, and production.
Watch the full video to experience the passion and scholarship behind this unique musical revival.
