- The Tapestry of Nations Parade Soundtrack from Epcot Center at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
The Tapestry of Nations parade circled World Showcase daily from 1991 to 2001 following which the parade was re-themed and re-titled Tapestry of Dreams.
The Tapestry of Nations music was written by Gavin Greenway who was suggested to Disney by none other than the infamous Hans Zimmer.
There is a fantastic Q and A article about the Tapestry of Nations Music with Gavin Greenway at this link if anyone is interested in reading more.
The Tapestry of Nations was introduced to commemorate the new millennium at Epcot at the score is adored by thousands of Disney fans.
The amazing parade featured massive puppets, stilt walkers and rotating drum units and had an overarching theme of peace and unity.
Another fun fact about the Tapestry of Nations is that it served as the theme for Super Bowl XXXIV halftime show in 2000 and a special variant of the parade was featured in the show.
As mentioned previously the show was modified in 2001 to become Tapestry of Dreams. The new parade was similar and featured many of the same elements but the soundtrack was modified to include narration of wishes from children around the world. Tapestry of Dreams also featured a touching tribute to Walt Disney in the middle.
The Tapestry of Dreams was canceled and ceased performance in March of 2003.
The following is quoted from Wikipedia and includes details of all of the section of Tapestry of Nations;
The Puppets included:
Reverse Marionette, a large multicolored puppet with a little marionette being held in its arms.'
Disc Man, a large character with discs within the body and dreadlocks. This was the heaviest and tallest of all the puppets.'
Hammer Man, a humanoid character made of pieces of sheet metal.
The Sprite, a winged character with a three-tiered tail.
Angel Girl, a feminine figure with a massive wingspan and human face.
Wiggle Girl, similar to Angel Girl, but had a smaller wingspan and lacked a face, also had movement in the hips.
Bird Man, with a large wingspan and a crane-like face. This puppet was the hardest to control.
Aztec Man, with an Aztec-style head, small wingspan and several flaps at its end, similar to kite tails.
This is so nostalgic for me. Thank you for sharing ❤
