So much more than just "Over the Rainbow",
By Jocelyn Price (St. Louis, mo United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Harold Arlen Songbook (Paperback)
Even if he never wrote anything else, Harold Arlen earned a stellar position in the Great American Songbook for writing "Over the Rainbow", as well as the other songs from "The Wizard of Oz". But he wrote so many more wonderful songs, ranging from the happiest and most light-hearted melodies to songs of nearly-operatic power. Sopranos, in particular, should look at this collection, which contains "Blues in the Night", "I Had Myself a True Love", and "I Wonder What Became of Me". The arrangements in this book are quite full, although a professional accompanist could make more of them, and the keys are singable. It is one of the staples of my popular music library. Harold Arlen's work is often associated with Judy Garland, but I think Eileen Farrell is actually the absolute best interpreter of his songs. Look for her CDs titled "Eileen Farrell Sings Harold Arlen" and "I Got a Right to Sing the Blues". They will blow you away, and maybe change your perception of what great singing can be.

Great Songbook,
This review is from: The Harold Arlen Songbook (Paperback)
This is a wonderful anthology of Harold Arlen songs. Since he wrote over 400 songs, it's impossible to include them all, but the best are definitely represented here. If you want to learn an Arlen song, this is the source.
5.0 out of 5 stars
musical necessity,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Harold Arlen Songbook (Paperback)
Harold Arlen wrote so many of the songs we love; this collection is only a fraction of his work but a fantastic resource. The arrangements are simple and solid enough. For a singer looking for pop/jazz tunes that are sure to entertain, or musical theater that is less-heard in auditions this is really a must.
