About the event
Hearing a Rainbow: Arlen's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
Though the 1939 film Wizard of Oz has become one of the best known films of all time, initially it was only a moderate success. By the year 2000, however, the film had not only become an American institution, but "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was deemed the greatest song of the century. Come join Dr. Tom Cimarusti as he explores this musical gem, highlighting the song's genesis, its melodic simplicity and harmonic sophistication, and its ability to offer each of us a hope for something better -- to whisk us to another world where "troubles melt like lemon drops."
