Art of the Cover with "The Sound of Music"




From the "Sound of Music," Connie Fisher sings "The Lonely Goatherd." She shows wonderful aplomb dancing it on a staircase and performing it in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber, too!

Note: The YouTube title is incorrect.




Lauren Hoffman sings the tender "Edelweiss." A white flower in the Alps, edelweiss is a metaphor for the beauty, endurance and purity of Austria and its people, in the encroaching darkness of Nazi Germany.




Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte, known as Pomplamoose, reharmonize "My Favorite Things" in a jazzy new melody. In the film, Maria sings this song for the von Trapp children, to make them feel better when they're scared or upset.
