A hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument incorporating a wooden wheel rotated by a simple shaft connected to a hand crank. Sound is produced by the action of the rim of the rotating wheel rubbing across the string(s) as the wheel is turned. hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument incorporating a wooden wheel rotated by a simple shaft connected to a hand crank.

Beauty and the Beast is an unabashed live-action/CGI homage to the 1991 animated film that inspired it (in terms of both its story and visual style), but incorporates enough fresh material into the mix to stand on its own â if not as firmly as, say, Disney and director Jon Favreauâs live-action The Jungle Book before it.
The soundtrack was again re-released in October 2010, as a Diamond Edition Soundtrack, to coincide with the successful Blu-ray and DVD Diamond Edition release of the film. This edition also features Jordin Sparks' version of Beauty and the Beast.
