I have felt for a while that any self-respecting forum like ours ought to acknowledge those people who made The Sound of Music, for without them we would have nothing to enjoy! There are a number of people who, for most of us, remain names in the credits, so I would like to add their faces as a 'thank you', although there seem to be precious few images available of them at work on TSOM. The one area where there are plenty of photos available of work in progress is in the recording of the music, so I shall start with those in the hope you also enjoy seeing Julie and the others creating those unforgettable songs. I'll put the images up bit by bit when I find the time, so feel free to comment after each batch (I have these stored in my library, so regret I have had to attach them -sorry.) The MusicMusic Producer:Saul Chaplin Music Arranger and Conductor: Irwin Kostal Vocals:Julie Andrews, Children, Bill Lee (dubbed for Christopher Plummer) Music:Richard Rogers and Saul Chaplin (I Have Confidence) Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein    Saul Chaplin and JA JA and Saul Chaplin Irwin Kostal, JA, Saul Chaplin |

   Here are the kids in the recording studio with Saul Chaplin and on the R is Bill Lee, who dubbed the voice of Capt von Trapp. The kids' voices were sometimes augmented with other children, such as Charmian Carr's sister (as in the photo on the left), and at other times not (as heard in the 'sad' Sound of Music sung after Maria left.) |

Very nice. We don't often talk about these people but they definitely deserve it.
And yes, I've heard Charmian say that the 'sad' Favorite Things was just them, while most of the other songs their audio was mixed. Darleen (Charmy's sister) sings Kurt's high 'Goodbye'. But I'm guessing most people knew that...

CP not liking the guitar: You don't say! Just hand him lemonade mixed with lemonade.

Yeah no, I do remember reading a quote of his somewhere: "I despise the guitar". Maybe it was hate. I'm not sure, but you get the picture.

The People Who Wrote The Sound Of Music: Maria von Trapp (1905-1987) wrote the original book, pub 1947, 'The Story of the Trapp Family Singers', later made into a German film, Die Trapp Familie in 1956.   Her book was then adapted in 1959 by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse to make a musical, staged on Broadway for many years.

 Lindsay and Crouse's play was produced with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, here flanking Mary Martin, who played Maria in the Broadway version in 1959.  Ernest Lehman wrote the screenplay to the film, first shown in 1965.  Richard Rodgers with Julie Andrews, starring as Maria in the film. |

Ah yes. The history I went through on my essay for uni (best project EVER!). But all these people made it what it is today.
Infinite thumbs up to Ernest Lehman, no more cringe-worthy lines.

Just a thought about the guitar. It might be that he hated it because in order to play it you have to create calluses on your fingers. It can be quite painful to begin with and for a pianist it wouldn't be much fun to deal with.

View Attachment Lindsay and Crouse's play was produced with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, here flanking Mary Martin, who played Maria in the Broadway version in 1959. View Attachment Ernest Lehman wrote the screenplay to the film, first shown in 1965. View Attachment Richard Rodgers with Julie Andrews, starring as Maria in the film. I read something today that said the last lyrics Oscar Hammerstein ever wrote was "Edelweiss". |
