Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein OST The Sound Of Music

The Sound of Music is the final collaboration between the
composer Richard Rodgers and the lyricist Oscar Hammerstein
II and one of their most famous collaborations. A lot of the songs
from the musical have become standards, like “Edelweiss”, “Do-
Re-Mi” and “My Favorite Things”. The story about the Austrian
woman who is sent to a villa to be the governess of the Trapp
Family during the second world war became known as a great
Broadway production in 1959, winning different awards. The
movie adaption from 1965 reached an even bigger audience
and is even now as popular as ever. One of the reasons for its
popularity are the sing-along tracks that are part of the fantastic
soundtrack. Shortly after releasing the 1965 film musical Oscar
Hammerstein died of cancer. But even now decades later the
music lives on in the countless reproductions of the musical and
the many artists who performed all this classic songs.
The musical, movie and soundtrack of The Sound of Music
received many awards, including multiple Academy, Tony and
Golden Globe Awards. The play also gained recognition by being
listed in numerous top film lists all over the world.
