Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960). Lyricist and librettist whose collaboration with composer Richard Rodgers transformed the Broadway musical. Their works include South Pacific (1949), The King & I (1951), and The Sound of Music (1959). The bucolic landscape of Hammerstein's nearby farm inspired him
to write "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" for the musical Oklahoma! in 1943.
