Oh, and if you had younger kids, your kids were probably obsessed with it. (The pair is credited with writing the entire Frozen 2 soundtrack as well.) At the 2014 Oscars, “Let It Go” won Best Original Song the next year, at the 2015 Grammys, the album won Best Compilation Soundtrack, garnering Robert Lopez - who wrote all of Frozen’s songs with his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez - the rare EGOT distinction. Sales of the original Frozen soundtrack blew away all other competitors when it was released in late November 2013 (just a few days before the film itself) it then went on to reign as the No. Not since the heyday of Disney’s ’90s animated musicals has a film soundtrack had such high expectations to live up to.

The highest note is actually the same note Menzel sang in “Let It Go.” Anderson-Lopez explained how the new song makes it sound more drastic. That is basically Elsa has left the building. Then ‘Into the unknooooown,’ that’s an 11th. ‘Into the unknown,’ you step a toe out but you come back to your boundary. “‘Into the unknown,’ da dun, that’s an octave,” Anderson-Lopez said. In the song, when Elsa responds “Into the Unknown,” her vocal range escalates each time.

It means death or danger.” Anderson-Lopez said you can hear “Dies Irae” in The Shining too. “Composers from Sondheim to Berlioz to John Williams, it’s in Home Alone, it’s in Star Wars, it’s in everything. “We made the voice sing the ‘Dies Irae,’ which is a Gregorian chant from the 11th century,” Robert Lopez told Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro during their DGA Theater panel before a crowd of Academy and guild voters.
