- An instrumental track of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, music written by Claude-Michel Schonberg, lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel (original French) and Herbert Kretzmer (English translation). Trevor Nunn and John Caird directed the original production, which was produced by Cameron Mackintosh. The music was orchestrated by John Cameron. This version of the song is in Eb.
These tracks were made using the revised version of the score, from around 1995-1997, which is slightly different from the score as it appears on the Complete Symphonic Recording. The orchestrations also follow these revisions, with the exception of the keyboards- information on the Kurzweil patches for the show is difficult to find, so these sounds are intended to emulate the original DX-7 patches (with varying success, I might add).
So "I Dreamed a Dream" is actually absurdly easy to do an instrumental (excepting the issue of the dominant strings). The song is rather short, mostly repetitive, and very sparse in orchestrations (mostly consisting of strings, keyboards, about 3 woodwinds and then horns, and they're mostly spread throughout the song). It's an extremely simple song musically, which is probably part of why it's so successful.

this is just like that of the musical's current music
Yeah, IDAD sustained very few changes when they switched to the 25th anniversary "updated" orchs. It's a little more melodramatic now, but the basic tenets of the song have remained the same since '85 (excepting, of course, the removal of the intro with the updates).
