Gather 'Round

The Maestro and his troupe prepare a performance on a hillside somewhere in the Mediterranean, in a last-ditch effort to raise funds before disbanding. Their task is to gather as many local villagers as they can, in order to attract the more well-to-do visitors arriving at the nearby port. The Maestro begins with a slow solo, then the troupe enters with a more rousing tempo.

Jump into the Fire

After Hatch lands in the faraway land of Havara, he meets Tumbler and Harley's roaming band: sometimes a theater troupe, sometimes highway robbers. They talk Hatch into using his flying trunk to intrude upon the castle fortress, where they hope to get a job as court performers. To shrug off the danger, the clownish Harley revels in the attraction of "jumping from the frying pan and into the fire" in this rock tune.

Featuring Joshua Vern as Harley.

Treasure Me

In the three verses of "Treasure Me" we hear the frustrations of three powerful women in the Kasbah of Havara: Ferah, the servant who knows all that goes on; Lady Hadia, the Sultan's sister vying for power; and Princess Meliha, who secretly runs the kingdom to cover up for her ill father.

These songs are arranged together as a medley. For an excerpt of "If You Let It" from the middle of this track, play the sample of "Treasure Me / If You Let It" posted on our Nimbit Music Flying Trunk page.

'Cause We're Young

Hatch's proposal of marriage puts Princess Meliha in a quandary -- she feels that with her family politics, the decision is too heavy a burden for young shoulders.

Tumbler's troupe, celebrating their opportunity to perform for the Sultan, joins them to turn the duet into a big ensemble number.

We'll Always Have Idiots

Our villain, Lady Hadia, professes to Meliha her beliefs about how the royal family should relate to the common classes -- specifically, with all the deceit and manipulation it takes to keep the status quo of rich and poor. During the bridge she indulges in a romantic dance with her servant Kareem.

Featuring Michaela Slezak as Hadia.
