But no one will want to sing or play a melody that begins with an octave leap! said an early critic. That melody that no one would sing or play is now probably the best known in the world. From The Wizard of Oz comes the song that has charmed millions. Warren Barker treats this scoring with care in a lush setting perfect for any concert occasion. If you have no vocalist, an optional alto or tenor saxophone solo part is included in the arrangement. It's a perfect audience-pleaser! (4:13) Medium

This is indeed one of the all-time biggest hits in pop music! Here's a wonderful arrangement featuring a vocalist. It starts with the verse, not heard that often, but such a lovely section. Then on to the familiar chorus with full backup by the band. This is an excellent choice -- don't miss it!

Paul Cook brings us this rich, slow ballad setting of the classic tune from The Wizard of Oz. It's easy to play and sounds delightful. Players and audiences will all want to hear this one often. A great chart to introduce phrasing and style to younger players. Very Easy (4:11)

When you need a lift, just hum the first four measures of Over The Rainbow. It is one of a few special melodies that have endured for year after year and generation after generation. With technical difficulties removed, now even the least experienced band can enjoy performing this true classic. Enchanting! (2:05)
