The rhythmic interplay of vocal parts frames the melody with a nice, playful “groove” that’s fun to sing as well.

(Level V) This arrangement was commissioned by its composer, Glenn
Wilson, in 2009.
To create this
composition, Glenn morphed the source song “If I Only Had a Brain” using two
jazz classics, “Giant Steps” and “Seven Steps to Heaven” to create this
piece.
Because of the inherent
humor found in the original song and Glenn’s treatment of it, I sought to take
the humor further with this arrangement.
This rowdy arrangement makes extensive use of metric modulation and
quotes from other songs found in the “Wizard of Oz”.
