Hey guys. Today's song is My Favorite Things from The Sound Of Music.
Most people know the Sound of Music from the movie, which is also where the song above is from, but it actually was a musical first, premiering on Broadway in 1959. Based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, the musical's book was written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. When the musical first opened, it received five Tony Awards and has had eight revivals, along with the film adaption with Julie Andrews. The story follows Maria who, while debating what path to follow in her life, falls in love with a German captain and his children and they all plan to flee the Nazi regime together. Some of the musical is fabricated, but parts of it are true and if you're interested in the real story you should check out Maria's memoir. Even if you're someone who has never seen the Sound of Music, certain songs like the one I'm featuring today have become staples in society and have most likely been in your brain from some time or another. So for today I leave you with this one to remember and enjoy.
Peace.
