There is a film about him called Stormy Weather: The Music of Harold Arlen, which I would recommend checking out if you want to know more about him and his songs. The main reason why I chose him is because if it wasn’t for him composing the songs for Wizard of Oz, the movie itself wouldn’t be more memorable.

“Music for 18 Musicians” is an excellent example of pulse music. In terms of structure, instrumentation and harmony are unique, compared to his previous works. The basic material consist of a sequence of eleven chords which are heard at the beginning and the end of the work. These chords, repeated in pulsing and sustained notes for the length of two breaths of the bass clarinetists, are examined one by one over a period of five minutes as the basic harmony over which longer musical periods are later elaborated. The piece has an arch structure:
