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 prepares her for the matchmaker.

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]
