When Enchanted hit movie theaters in November, 2007, hundreds of blog writers and movie critics spun out merry comments about this uplifting tale, making it clear this movie would live, as the song says, “ever ever after.” With songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, the Enchanted piano-vocal-guitar sheet music is already in demand with singers eager to offer “So Close,” “True Love’s Kiss,” or one of the others at their next recital or concert.
Hal Leonard’s 52-page Enchanted songbook set for release January 17, 2008, features the Menken/Schwartz songs True Love’s Kiss, Happy Working Song, That’s How You Know, So Close, and Ever Ever After. It also includes “That’s Amore” from the soundtrack. Downloadable versions are available now.

Stephen Schwartz recently answered an Enchanted question on his discussion forum: “First of all, let me say that the entire process of writing songs for ENCHANTED was a total blast for me. Bill Kelly’s screenplay was in terrific shape when I came on board the project, so where the songs should come and what they should be was fairly clear, and our director, Kevin Lima, had a great understanding of how songs could work in the movie and was terrific to work with. Plus I always have a lot of fun working with Alan.
