The original score for the world-premiere of Ballet Austin's Belle Redux A Tale of Beauty and the Beast, composed by Graham Reynolds, premiered February 13, 2015 at the Long Center in Austin. The album is now available to preview and purchase on his website.

Reynolds is an Austin composer, and has worked on film, theater, and orchestral scores on projects like the Mozart Requiem Undead and multiple collaborations with Austin filmmaker Richard Linklater. 

He spoke with KMFA's Dianne Donovan for a recent episode of Classical Austin. When asked how creating music for a ballet was different than some of the film scores he has written, Reynolds responded, "Every time the process is a little bit different. Also, as technology evolves, the tools are different too. One of the goals of this was supposed to be innovation as part of the 3M commission. I tried to use all of these tools in my toolbox and dig around." He continued, "...instead of a handful of music cues spread throughout this larger piece of art, there is music in a ballet, of course, the whole time. The entire sonic audio world is being told by the score, rather than by dialogue, and sound effects, and music, etc."
