Willson, Meredith [né Robert Meredith Reiniger] (1902–84), composer, lyricist, and librettist. Born in Mason City, Iowa, the noted conductor and musician performed for several seasons as a flutist in the band of John Philip
Sousa. Later he was prominent in radio, arranging and conducting the music for top shows. Willson turned to the theatre relatively late in life and wrote book, music, and lyrics for the hugely successful
The Music Man (1957), which reflected his Iowa boyhood. He also created the lyrics and music for
The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1960) and
Here's Love (1963).
