Being the very film that kick-started the Disney Animated Canon, the film has music that continues to remain iconic to this day.
- The opening
is a majestic piece comprising a lovely string rendition of "One Song" to prepare the audience for the film before segueing in with an arrangement of "Someday My Prince Will Come" to set the mood and introduce Snow White's story. - "I'm Wishing" is the very first musical number in the film, and the entire canon. Snow White is cleaning in the courtyard of the Queen's Castle, while standing by a wishing well and singing about meeting a handsome man who would come to rescue her one day.
- "One Song". The Prince overhears Snow White singing "I'm Wishing" and listens for a bit while sitting on a wall, before he walks over and meets her, singing this romance song to her.
- "With a Smile and a Song" is another song sung by Snow White. The Huntsman - whom the queen sends to kill Snow White - decides to spare her life and let her escape. She then runs into a forest full of woodland animals, making her feel less endangered.
- "Whistle While You Work" is sung when Snow White comes across the Dwarfs' cottage, and she and her forest animal friends decide to clean it up, thinking that its inhabitants would be grateful enough to let her stay.
- Who could forgot about the timeless "Heigh-Ho"? Sung by the seven dwarfs (excluding Dopey) as they work in the diamond mines and when they go back home to their cottage.
- "The Dwarfs' Yodel Song" is silly song that the Seven Dwarves sing to Snow White to entertain her and celebrate her arrival. Happy and Bashful each sing about something silly, both of which are followed by a chorus. The dwarfs then all take turns dancing with Snow White. Dopey's dance is abruptly ended when Sneezy lets out a really big sneeze causing Dopey to pop out, fly upward and out of the coat, and safely into the cottage's rafters.
- The ending sequence starts off on a fitting sombre note as Snow White's prince pays his supposed final respects to the damsel before she returns to life to everyone's joy. The orchestra also celebrates by swelling to a joyous arrangement of Snow White's "I Want" Song to signify her dream finally coming true after so long and ends with a choral Triumphant Reprise of "Someday My Prince Will Come" glorious enough to make people applaud Disney's first ever feature film even after its end.
- Even among the songs in the movie, "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is a standout. It was one of the best I Want Songs of its time and proves that Adriana Caselotti had an amazing singing voice for Snow White. They also do a reprise when Snow White is poisoned by her stepmother, and her true love has to wake her up. It's impossible not to get chills when the melody kicks in as Snow White wakes up at the end. The song came in 19th place in AFI’s 100 Years... 100 Songs.
