Music Question

I havent had the pleasure of seeing this adapation (or if I did, it was in the fifth grade when I saw a few others), so I have a small question. Does this version have musical numbers?

We did a play of LWW when I was in grade school, and we used a soundtrack from somewhere. It had full songs on there, like one where Lucy sings when she finds the others after her first trip into the wardrobe "Didnt you miss me, I was so long gone, I slipped right out of this world, and my mind went for a whirl" something like that.

It isnt the best of soundtracks but I've wanted to hear it again all these years, so was it in this? If not, does anyone have any ideas where it's from, where I could find it?

Thanks.

No, this version is not a musical, but its still very very good.

The music is GREAT in this one. I've always liked it. But it's orchestration, no singing. But really, the composer could have won some kind of award. Not bad for a TV movie!

About 11 years ago, my mum taped this version on TV around Christmas time and I remember watching it ALL THE TIME. I was so proud of myself when I was old enough to read it and that it only took me 4 days to read it-I loved the music too, it was when they were getting chased by the wolves and when Aslan was walking with Lucy and Susan towards his blood debt.
Brilliant brilliant music.
