Honor to Us All
Honor to Us All is a song from the 1998 Disney film Mulan.
Production
The musical motif is woven into the rest of Mulan's score. For example, ""Suite from Mulan" starts off the score, and weaves the "Reflection" melody nicely through the orchestra, before moving to a playful rendition of "Honor To Us All", employing string pizzicato and muted brass staccato to great effect."[1]
Synopsis
Mulan's family reinforce the gender roles of China at the time, and show her what lies in her future.
Critical reception
SputnikMusic writes ""Honor To Us All" opens and recounts the massive struggle that girls in the Han Dynasty had to face due to the repressive cultural norms of that age. The song is peerless in creating an atmosphere of burdening expectations, and just by listening to it you know that Mulan is on the verge of single-handedly chopping down ten generations' worth of family tree honor."[2]
