& Hammerstein's score for The Sound of Music is one of the most
cherished collections of songs of all time. Based on their Broadway
musical, with a libretto by Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse, the film version was directed by Robert Wise and brought the universal, and also true, story of the von Trapp family to life on the screen.

The
Sound of Music, when it was made, appealed to audiences across the
spectrum of age, race and personal tastes because of its universal
message about family, devotion, and courage in the face of great
adversity, as well as loyalty to one's country in spite of oppression.
It was symbolized by the Trapp family, whose singing as shown in the
film became enjoyed by live audiences around the world and brought the
world figuratively to its feet in song.

The
Sound of Music returns this year at a time when the world again needs
music in an oppositional climate that exists among racial, cultural and
political factions and to watch the happily ever after songs it
represents.
