Folklore and Fairy Tale Music Below are quick links to Amazon.com MP3 and iTunes. You can read more about individual recordings on the Modern Interpretations pages for each fairy tale. Make your own playlists and have fun listening to the wide range of music influenced by fairy tale themes. For the most part, I have not included classical music pieces. They make an equally long list all by themselves. Most other genres are well represented from jazz to alternative to country to children's music. The songs are listed in chronological order by release date under their respective fairy tale titles. "Prince Charming" by Adam Ant from the album Antics In the Forbidden Zone (1979) "Fairytale" by Sara Bareilles from the album Little Voice (2007) A great percentage of the music related to this tale is connected to the Disney version produced on film and Broadway. The film's success has inspired numerous covers of songs from the Disney versions. I've not included all of these, but have focused only on those by popular artists to give space and time to the music not related to a Disney production. "Mother Goose: IV.
