Electrical Water Pageant - 1977 To 1995 Version

1977 To 1995 Version

With the return of the Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade in an updated form along with the brand new Walt Disney World Main Street Electrical Parade, a new version of Jean Jeaque Perry & Gershgon Kingsley's "Baroque Hoedown" was created in 1977 to be used with both parades respectively featuring an updated rendition of Barque Hoedown recorded by Don Dorsey. To help distinguish the Electrical Water Pageant from the Main Street Electrical Parade, the original Kingsley-Perry version of "Baroque Hoedown" was dropped and a new version using various musical selections was created for both the opening and closing of the Electrical Water Pageant as well as each creature depicted in the pageant. Some of the original 1971 floats were saved and/or rearranged, while others were once again completely changed.The main themes for this version of the Electrical Water Pageant were synthesized arrangements from George Frideric Handel's Water Music

The 1977 to 1995 lineup of floats for the Electrical Water Pageant were:

• Overture- "Hornpipe"
• Sea Serpent (four floats) "That Certain Serpent"- J. Christensen
• Whale (one float) Whale Of A Tale" N. Gimbel/A Hoffman
