Information
"King of Pride Rock (Score)" is one of four instrumental scores from the official soundtrack.
The Lion King
This score is typically identified as the music for the final triumphant ascension of Pride Rock by Simba. The score picks up after the death of Scar and carries through Simba's triumphant roar to the very end of the film, where he stands side-by-side with Nala on Pride Rock and watches as Rafiki presents their newborn cub to the animals of the Pride Lands.
The Stage Musical
This score is referred to as "Circle of Life (Reprise)" in the musical. It is much the same as its film counterpart. However, it relies much more heavily on vocals.
