“A Whole New World” is a three-page beginner piano arrangement of the song from Walt Disney’s Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The music is marked Sweetly and written in 4/4, with a gentle, singing character. This arrangement includes lyrics, finger numbers, long slurs, simple two-hand coordination, first and second endings, and pedal markings. The melody is kept clear and easy to follow, while the left hand adds simple bass notes and supporting tones underneath.

Measures 1–2 introduce the opening musical idea before the lyrics begin. The right hand plays a soft p melody with a long slur, while the left hand supports with low notes underneath. The lift marking at the end helps prepare the repeated vocal-style entrance that follows.

Measures 3–10 present the opening verse text, including “I can show you the world” and “Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?” The right hand carries most of the melody in simple note values, while the left hand supports with low bass notes and held tones. A repeat sign and first ending allow the opening material to be played again with the second verse text.

Measures 11–18 move into the title section, beginning with “A whole new world.” The music grows to mf, and the hands play together more often. The right hand includes simple intervals and longer melody notes, while the left hand provides steady harmonic support. This gives the piece a fuller sound while still keeping the student part manageable.

Measures 19–28 continue the title section with “A whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew.” The melody rises and becomes more expressive, with f and mf markings shaping the phrase. A rit. marking slows the music near the words “with you,” creating a more dramatic pause before the final return.

Measures 29–end close the arrangement by returning to the opening musical idea. The a tempo marking brings back the earlier gentle motion, and the final measures use hand sharing between the right and left hands before ending softly at p. The closing feels calm and reflective, matching the dreamy character of the song.

Interesting fact: “A Whole New World” was written for Disney’s 1992 animated film Aladdin. The song became one of Disney’s most famous movie songs and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
