Any classical music buffs out there who might help???

I'm trying to find the piece of music from the Sleeping Beauty I always understood that the piece used in the film for the song 'once upon a dream' used the music from the ballet Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky [bet I spelt that wrong] but I've not been able to find it anywhere. Am I right? Is the music used 'The Sleeping Beauty Waltz' or was it specially composed for the film and have I been wrong all these years

Well, I am not of too much help, but here is a link to the soundtrack...try track 8 on the first CD. I have a Mac so I can't get any of these to download. Good luck!

You are right it was taken from Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty. It is from the movement called Valse.

If you have access you can listen to/download it from Napster. Search for "Sleeping Beauty" under Albums.

I thought it was from the ballet - I knew I'd heard it when we had a local touring company and I went to see The Sleeping Beauty. What made me wonder was a copy of the music on CD which I recently bought. Strangely this piece wasn't on it and as I'd always thought of it as one of the signature pieces from the ballet it got me puzzled.
