Munchkinland
- Part One |
Rehearsal
with Harold Arlen & E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Munchkin Musical Sequence - Arranged by Leo Arnaud.
Munchkinland is the longest and most complex musical
sequence in the film. We present the songs as
they were recorded. As you will hear, most of
the munchkin vocal parts are missing. This is
because the voices of the munchkins were recorded
separately from the music and the separate tracks
were mixed together later. At the end of the music
section, we will present the actual munchkin loops
recorded by Ken Darby on a special optical film
recorder developed by Douglas Shearer, head of
the M-G-M sound department. Also note that the
order in which the parts are presented is not the
final order in which they appear on film, but rather
as the parts were originally sequenced when orchestrated.
(Scene 2033) - Take 2 - This recording features
composer Harold Arlen and lyricist "Yip" Harburg
enacting all of the singing and speaking parts
for this sequence. This was a rehearsal track made
for choreographer Bobby Connolly. |

none other than Billie Burke's. |

Munchkin
Voices |
Vocal
Loops for the Munchkin Voices - Here we present
several of the tracks recorded by Ken Darby for
this sequence. Darby had the singers sing slowly
and distinctly, in an adjusted key. These tracks
were recorded at a slower speed than normal, but
played back at the normal speed of 90 feet per
minute. This process was used to make the voices
sound like the munchkins. As an added feature,
at the end of this section are several of these
tracks, played back at the same speed at which
they were recorded, thus giving the listener the
opportunity to hear exactly how these parts were
sung. You may notice a certain familiarity in Pinto
Colveg's voice. For many years he was none other
than the voice of Walt Disney's Goofy.
(Scene #2079) - Unused track intended to replace
the voices featured in Part Four. Harry Stanton
and Virgil Johansen are the voices. |

Deleted Reprise
Take 3 - This is the deleted reprise sung by Dorothy
while she is a captive of the Wicked Witch of the
West. The recording was done live on the set to
a piano accompaniment, with the orchestra to be
added later. The record date of this track is October
17, 1938, thus placing it during Director Richard
Thorpe's reign. The Victor Fleming re-do does not
survive, so the underscoring for this scene does
not match this live performance. |

The Underscoring -
The background music for The Wizard of Oz won
the Academy Award
for best original score (1939). The composers
of this underscoring used Arlen's song melodies
to create a seamless continual flow of music
that lasts almost the entire length of the film.
Although many of the scenes in the finished film
do not have underscoring, music had actually
be created for some, and you will hear that music
here for the first time. We have highlighted
cues that have something unique or anecdotal
about them as compared with the final versions
heard in the film.

channel, and it is the only one that survives. Longer
here

you will hear in several of the"witch's scenes"
unfamiliar bits of music. |

were to have scored a scene between the Witch and
Nikko, her faithful companion. Seeing that her plan
is working, she sends Nikko to fetch the golden wishing
cap. The cap is sued to call for the Winged Monkeys,
whom the Witch will send to the poppy field to claim
the ruby slippers. Glinda interferes with the plan
though, and in a later scene, the Witch tosses away
the cap in utter frustration. |
