Herbert Stothart (11 September 1885 - 1 February 1949) was the veteran composer for the MGM studio who wrote and arranged music for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Stothart started out on Broadway, and later moved to Hollywood, where he became a prolific in-house composer for MGM.
Stothart, who had been Selznick’s second choice to score GWTW behind Steiner, was unoccupied at the time but unavailable due to his commitment to Northwest Passage (which he would begin scoring shortly thereafter).
