The world's most beloved musical is now available for young performers in Rodgers & Hammersteins Getting To Know collection! The story of the von Trapp family begins when the young Maria proves too high-spirited for religious life and is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of the widowed naval Captain von Trapp. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually transforms the stern household. The familys newfound happiness is eclipsed by the annexation of Austria by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy and the family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II is both thrilling and inspirational. Songs include The Sound of Music, Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss, The Lonely Goatherd, Maria, My Favorite Things, So Long, Farewell, and more!
