"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz is an amazingly well-written song! Conductor and composer Rob Kapilow explains how the music by Harold Arlen with words by Yip Harburg is so much more than you have probably ever really considered. It's with good reason that the song was named to the list of the greatest songs of the 20th century by National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America.
