Herbert P. Stothart (September 11, 1885 – February 1, 1949) was an American songwriter, arranger, conductor, and composer. He was also nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning Best Original Score for The Wizard of Oz.
Stothart was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He studied music in Europe and at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he later taught.
Stothart was first hired by producer Arthur Hammerstein to be a musical director for touring companies of Broadway shows, and was soon writing music for the producer's nephew Oscar Hammerstein II. He composed some of the music in the famous operetta, Rose-Marie. Stothart soon joined with many famous composers including Vincent Youmans, George Gershwin and Franz Lehár. In 1929, Stothart was signed to a large Hollywood contract by MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer.
The last twenty years of his life were spent at MGM Studios, where he was under contract as a composer. Among the many films that he worked on was the famous 1936 version of Rose-Marie, starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. He won an Oscar for his musical score for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
This is the lovely main title of one of the most charming movies ever put to celluloid. National Velvet is the simple story of a young girl, Velvet Brown (Elizabeth Taylor), who dreams of entering her horse The Pi into the world's most prestigious horse race: The Grand National. With the help of young Mi Taylor, a young man with a mysterious past and an excellent knowledge of horses, Velvet just might have a chance at winning her greatest aspiration, as well as finding out who she is along the way. In more modern takes on this type of tale it would automatically become cheesy schlock without any charm or magic, but with the gentle writing, pitch-perfet score, loveable well-developed characters and engaging locales of National Velvet this movie has ended up being greatly beloved by parents...
Although his style of scoring is rather lightly dismissed by some critics in comparison to that of some later MGM composers and orchestrators, Hebert Stothart's (1885-1949) adaptation and scoring of the background music in THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939), much of which he actually composed, is still considered a masterpiece. It won Stothart his only Oscar. This is only a clip of his Oscar-nominated score to WATERLOO BRIDGE (1940), containing the opening titles music and first incidental music cue of the film's score. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006307/
