With this Easy Piano sheet music book, you can learn every song from the hit movie in simplified arrangements with selected fingering.There were other film adaptations of L.

What 'Yip' Harburg and Harold Arlen created was a film bursting with unforgettable musical sequences, putting their talented songwriting brains together to produce this most famous of musicals. Obviously, a song like Over The Rainbow needs no introduction, winning an Academy Award for resonating with our desire for something better, and becoming especially prescient given the world war about to erupt.The rest of Harburg and Arlen's songs for the film are just as evocative, instantly conjuring Dorothy's legendary journey from Kansas to Oz and back.

But no one will want to sing or play a melody that begins with an octave leap! said an early critic. That melody that no one would sing or play is now probably the best known in the world. From The Wizard of Oz comes the song that has charmed millions. Warren Barker treats this scoring with care in a lush setting perfect for any concert occasion.
