4. One of the greatest composers of American Popular Music was Harold Arlen (1905-1986). Arlen composed the following song which was almost cut from the 1939 film classic, The Wizard of Oz. I am always moved by this film, the wonderful music, and this scene in particular. The combination of Judy Garland’s (1922-1969) (Dorothy) voice, this amazing Harold Arlen song, Herbert Stothart’s (1885-1949) underscoring, and Toto (her dog) are beyond words. This famous melody begins with an octave leap in the very first two notes! Click on the link below to view, musically describe, and comment on what you are experiencing here.
