Choral Medley-For over 75 years The Wizard of Oz has been one of Hollywood's most memorable films with timeless songs that have taken a prominent place in popular culture.Choirs and audiences will love the celebration of these classics in an easily-learned 7.5-minute medley which includes: Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead Follow the Yellow Brick Road If I Only Had a Brain If I Only Had a Heart If I Only Had the Nerve If I Were King of the Forest The Merry Old Land of Oz Munchkinland Optimistic Voices Over the Rainbow and We're Off to See the Wizard

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later.Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for SATB choir with Piano accompaniment this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning.

Songs from The Wiz-A Song from the Broadway Musical The Wiz. Arranged for SATB Choir and Piano by Hawley Ades.Although based on L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz in which a little girl named Dorothy is abducted from her home by a Tornado and transported to the Land of Oz The Wiz takes the classic fairy tale in an all-new direction with an all-black cast an exciting rock score and a decidedly modern libretto that reframes the story in such a way that it seems somehow more relevant.
