Product Description
"Someday" is a song from Disney's 1996 animated feature film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It was written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and originally recorded by American singer and actress Heidi Mollenhauer in her film role as the singing voice of Esmeralda.
It was one of three recordings, along with "In a Place of Miracles" and
"As Long as There's a Moon", that were discarded during the storyboarding process to be replaced by "God Help the Outcasts." The codirectors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise both desired a quieter song for Esmeralda's scene inside the Notre Dame cathedral.
Selected as the lead single from the film's soundtrack in 1996, "Someday" was recorded by allmale R&B group All-4-One for the North American release, while British female R&B trio Eternal recorded their own version for the British English version of the song which received international release throughout Europe and Oceania. Mexican singer Luis Miguel recorded a Spanish version for the Latin American market, retitled "
Sueña", which became a major hit. The Italian version was recorded by Neri per Caso, retitled "
Quando". The youngest Celtic Woman member Chloë Agnew covered this song for her solo album called
Walking in the Air and her first Celtic Woman album. Jackie Evancho covered this song for the Target deluxe version of her album Dream With Me.[1]
The Korean version was recorded by R&B trio Solid, which was
released in Korea as a bonus track of the original soundtrack album.[2] In 2016, the song was included in the musical version of the film as performed by Ciara Renée and Andrew Samonsky as Esmeralda and Phoebus
