Matthew Sweet considers film music for The Wizard of Oz.

To mark the release of the film Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return, Matthew Sweet introduces film music that has been created for the adaptations of L Frank Baum's stories.

In the week that sees the release of "Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return", Matthew Sweet looks back on some of the film music that has been created for the adaptations of L Frank Baum's stories of Dorothy and her friends in the land of Oz - not least the much-loved classic starring Judy Garland, in this, its 75th anniversary year.

The programme also features music from The Wiz, Journey Back to Oz, Return to Oz, Oz the Great and Powerful, plus others - and part of Toby Chu's new score for "Legends of Oz".
