This beautiful melody by Harold Arlen will be familiar to many in your audience, and thus a crowd-pleaser. The famous tune from “The Wizard of Oz” has been treated in bomb style, meaning that it has been “calypsoized” through the application of stylistic calypso rhythms and grooves. After a brief introduction, the tune is presented, followed by a fairly challenging variation for lead and double tenor pans over the first two A sections. A fadeout ending suggests actually going “over the rainbow” to the place where dreams really do come true.
