Summary

The Wizard of Oz: 70th Anniversary Deluxe Songbook features classic songs by E. Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen carefully arranged for 5 Finger Piano. These arrangements are set in traditional five-finger style, with the melody split between the hands. Student parts have no key signatures, dotted quarter notes, triplets, or 16th notes for performance ease. Optional duet accompaniments are provided for a fuller, richer musical experience, and lyrics are included. As a bonus, the folio includes dozens of original production stills, publicity photos, a comprehensive essay on the story behind the songs and score, and biographies of the composers. This is a must-have for those who love this film and its timeless score! Titles: Over the Rainbow * Come Out, Come Out * Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead * As Coroner, I Must Aver * Lullaby League and Lollipop Guild * If I Only Had a Brain * We're Off to See the Wizard * If I Only Had a Heart * If I Only Had the Nerve * (You’re Out of the Woods) Optimistic Voices * The Merry Old Land of Oz * If I Were King of the Forest.
