". . . required reading for anyone interested in the great American songs."-New York Times Book ReviewMany of us can sing along with Dorothy when she imagines a place "Over the Rainbow." And we all remember the Depression-era classic "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" But very few can name the man who put the words to these celebrated hallmarks of American music- Yip Harburg.

With extensive and exclusive interviews and lyrical analysis, the authors capture Harburg's wit, distinctive voice, and creative and collaborative methods.Inquiry into Harburg's Jewish, New York City roots, apprenticeship in his craft, and involvement in the radical politics of the 1930s- he was blacklisted in the 1950s- puts into context the seemingly irreconcilable skepticism and optimism that contoured this lyrical genius's life and work.Harold Meyerson is Executive Editor and chief political columnist, L.A.

Upon its 2011 debut, Andrew Lloyd Webber's spectacular new stage production of The Wizard of Oz dazzled London audiences and embarked on a course for productions around the world. Building upon the original story and the classic movie score with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, Lloyd Webber masterfully transforms the work by contributing more than a half-dozen new, original songs that at last successfully adapt the world's most beloved movie musical for live theatre. This collectible songbook contains piano/vocal sheet music for every song on the original cast recording, along with several pages of brilliant color photos from the original London production. Titles: Nobody Understands Me * Over the Rainbow * Wonders of the World * Munchkinland / 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 / We're Off to See the Wizard * We're Outta the Woods * The Merry Old Land of Oz * Bring Me the Broomstick * Red Shoes Blues * The Rescue * Hail-Hail! The Witch Is Dead * The Wizard's Departure * Already Home.

This book features all of the classic songs by E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen. Also included are the never-before published "character themes" by Academy-Award(R) winning composer Herbert Stothart, the complete "Munchkinland Musical Sequence," and the song "The Jitterbug," which was cut from the original film. Utilizing rare M-G-M studio manuscripts and the original motion picture soundtrack, each song is presented in its original key. As a bonus, this unique collector's item includes two songs from the 1903 Broadway musical production of The Wizard of Oz, with lyrics by original Oz author L. Frank Baum. These songs have not been published in over a century. The songbook also contains dozens of original production stills and publicity photos, an essay on the story behind the songs and score, and biographies of the composers.
