Does ANYONE have a sheet music copy of the overture to the Wizard Of Oz. please?

I could write it out from the DVD, but it would save time if it is available in printed form.

I'm playing an theatre organ concert in late January 2010 and having only just received the invitation, it's a bit short notice.
I prmoised myself not to drag out the old repertoire again, and am working on a selection of music by Harold Arlen, and thought this would be a good intro.

(Having said it's a theatre organ concert, it's in a church on a dual purpose 4 manual drawstop console - digital!......interesting)

Afraid I can't help you with the overture score. There doesn't seem to be any mention of sheet music for it online.

The Harold Arlen Society website only mentions publication of the songs, so the overture may well be one of the MGM lost works sad.gif

But I just wanted to add my enthusiasm for Arlen's music. One of the greatest composers that no-one's heard of.

(Wanders off humming Blues In The Night, Stormy Weather and That Old Black Magic....)

What kind of arrangement did you want? I have the vocal score which has a piano reduction of the overture in.


A piano arrangement is ideal. I work from mostly piano scores in any case.
