Summary of This Book
Designed to celebrate the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, this collection brings together the film's essential themes in arrangements dedicated to the violin, accompanied by a fully orchestrated CD. The method is particularly effective for progress: you first listen to a demo track with a complete instrumental performance, then follow with the play-along track to take the soloist's place and work on intonation, phrasing, rhythmic placement, and expressiveness. Ideal for lessons as well as home practice, this format helps develop musical endurance and a sense of style while maintaining the immediate pleasure of "playing with an orchestra."
Beyond the sheet music, the book stands out for its "collector" approach: it contains dozens of visuals from the production (including a color booklet), promotional photos, as well as a text that places the songs in their context and presents the composers. The table of contents notably includes: Over The Rainbow, Come Out, Come Out... It Really Was No Miracle, Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead, The Lullaby League, The Lollipop Guild, We Welcome You To Munchkinland, Follow The Yellow Brick Road, We're Off To See The Wizard, If I Only Had A Brain, Optimistic Voices, The Merry Old Land Of Oz, The Jitterbug, If I Were King Of The Forest.
