The Sound Of Music
(Solo)
Dixit Dominus Domino meo
Sede a dextris meis
(Response)
Donec ponam inimicos tuos
Scabellum pedum tuorum
(Solo)
Dominus a dextris tuis
Confregit in die irae suae reges
(Response)
De torrente in via bibet
Propterea in exaltabit caput
(Solo)
Gloria Patri, et Filio
Et Spiritui Sancto
(Response)
Sicut erat in principio
Et nunc, et semper
Et in saeculla saeculorum
Amen
Rex admiriabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis
Totus desiderabilis
(Maria)
My day in the hills
Has come to an end I know
A star has come out
To tell me it's time to go
But deep in the dark-green shadows
Are voices that urge me to stay
So I pause and I wait and I listen
For one more sound
For one more lovely thing
That the hills might say...
The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing
Every song it hears
My heart wants to beat
Like the wings
Of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook
When it trips and falls
Over stones in its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
(Berthe)
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
(Sophia)
She waltzes on her way to mass
And whistles on the stair
(Berthe)
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
(Sophia)
I even heard her singing in the abbey
(Berthe)
She's always late for chapel
(Sophia)
But her penitence is real
(Berthe)
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
(Berthe and Sophia)
Maria's not an asset to the Abbey
(Margaretta)
I like to say a word in her behalf
(Mother Abbess)
"Then say it, Sister Margaretta)
(Margaretta)
Maria... makes me... laugh!
(Sophia)
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
(Mother Abbess)
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
(Margaretta)
How do you find a word that means Maria?
(Berthe)
A flibbertijibbet!
(Sophia)
A will-o'-the wisp!
(Margaretta)
A clown!
(Mother Abbess)
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
(Margaretta)
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say?
(Mother Abbess)
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
(Margaretta)
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
(Mother Abbess)
How do you hold our moonbeam in your hand?
(Margaretta)
When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
(Berthe)
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
(Margaretta)
She's a darling!
(Berthe)
She's a demon!
(Margaretta)
She's a lamb!
(Sophia)
She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from his nest
(Berthe)
She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
(Margaretta)
She is gentle
She is wild
(Sophia)
She's a riddle
She's a child
(Berthe)
She's a headache!
(Margaretta)
She's an angel!
(Mother Abbess)
She's a girl...
(All)
How do you solve a problem like Maria?

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kitten
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with -
(Gretl)
A, B, C
(Maria)
When you sing you begin with do re mi
(Children)
Do re mi?
(Maria)
Do re mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do re mi
(Children)
Do re mi!
(Maria)
Do re mi fa so la ti!
"Come, I'll make it easier. Listen."
Doe - a deer, a female deer
Ray - a drop of golden sun
Me - a name I call myself
Far - a long, long way to run
Sew - a needle pulling thread
La - a note to follow sew
Tea - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do-oh-oh-oh!
(Gretl)
Doe!
(Maria)
A deer, a female deer
(Children)
Ray!
(Maria)
A drop of golden sun

A needle pulling thread

Do re mi fa so la ti do!
(Children)
So do!
(Brigitta)
"Is that what you call a song? Do re mi fa so and so on?"
(Maria)
"No. Do re mi fa so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once we have these
notes in our heads we can sing a million different tunes.
(Friedrich)
"How?"
(Maria)
"By mixing them up. Listen."
So do la fa me do re
"Now you do it."
(Children)
So do la fa me do re
(Maria)
So do la ti do re do
(Children)
So do la ti do re do
(Maria)
"Now, let's put it all together!"
(Children)
So do la fa me do re
So do la ti do re do!
(Brigitta)
"But it doesn't mean anything!"
(Maria)
"So we put in words - one word for every note."
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything!
(Brigitta)
"You said one word for every note."
(Maria)
"Yes, Brigitta, I did."
(Brigitta)
"But when you sing -"
Anything
"- you are using up three notes for one word."
(Maria)
"Yes. That's right. Well, sometimes we do that. Now, altogether."
(All)
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything!

A note to follow sew

You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
(Liesl)
To write on
(Rolf)
You are sixteen, going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen, going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and roués and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You'll need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen, going on eighteen
I'll take care of you!
(Liesl)
I am sixteen, going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I'll believe
I am sixteen, going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen, going on eighteen
I'll depend on you
(Maria)
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee o
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl o
Folks in a town that was quite remote, heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee o
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat, heard
Layee odl, layee odl o
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
O ho lay-dee odle ay
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
Hodl odl lee-o-lay
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee o
Men on a road with a load to tote, heard
Layee odl, layee odl o
Men in the midst of a table d'hôte, heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee ee o
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat, heard
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
O ho lay-dee odle ay
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
Hodl odl lee-o-lay
One little girl in a pale pink coat, heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee o
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl o
Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat, heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee o
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl o
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
O ho lay-dee odle ay
O ho lay-dee odl lee o
Hodl odl lee-o-lay
Happy are they - lay lee o layee lee o
O lay lee o lay lee lay ee o
Soon the duet will become a trio
Layee odl layee odl o
Hodi lay-ee

In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snuggle
They're famous for misfortune which
They seem to have no fear of
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of
(Captain)
"Not a sign of them anywhere..."
(Elsa)
No little shack do you share with me
We do not flee from a mortgagee
Nary a care in the world have we -
(Max)
How can love survive?
(Elsa)
You're fond of bonds and you own a lot
I have a plane and a Diesel yacht
(Max)
Plenty of nothing you haven't got!
(Max and Elsa)
How can love survive?
(Elsa)
No rides for us
On the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes -
(Max)
You reach your goals
In your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedeses!
(Elsa)
Far, very far off the beam are we
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we
Two millionaires with a dream are we
We're keeping romance alive
Two millionaires with a dream are we
We'll make our love survive...
No little cold water flat have we
Warmed by the glow of insolvency -
(Max)
Up to your necks in security
How can love survive?
(Elsa)
How can I show what I feel for you?
I cannot go out and steal for you
I cannot die like Camille for you -
How can love survive?
(Max)
You millionaires
With financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure
When you are poor
It is toujours l'amour
For l'amour all the poor have leisure!
(Elsa)
Caught in our gold-plated chains are we
Lost in our wealthy domains are we
Trapped by our capital gains are we
But we'll keep romance alive -
(Max)
Trapped by our capital gains are we -
(Elsa)
We'll make our love survive!

I know I will hear

(Children)
There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coo-coo"
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say "good-bye" to you...
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good night
(Marta)
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
(Children)
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
(Kurt)
Adieu, adieu
To yieu, and yieu, and yieu
(Children)
So long, farewell
Au 'voir, auf Wiedersehen
(Liesl)
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
No?
(Captain)
"No!"
(Children)
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good-bye
(Friedrich)
I leave and heave a sigh and say good-bye
Good-bye!
(Brigitta)
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
(Louisa)
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
(Gretl)
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
(Children)
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
(Guests)
Good-bye
(Mother Abbess)
Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
A dream that will need all the love you can give
Every day of your life for as long as you live
Climb every mountain
Fold every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
A dream that will need all the love you can give
Every day of your life for as long as you live
Climb every mountain
Fold every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
(Elsa)
You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist
Today you have to learn to be a realist
(Max)
You may be bent on doing deeds of derring-do
But up against a shark what can a herring do?
(Elsa)
Be wise, compromise!
(Captain)
Compromise, and be wise!
(Elsa)
Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal
(Captain)
I will not bow my head to the men I despise
(Max)
You won't have to bow your head, just stoop a little
(Elsa)
Why not learn to put your faith and your reliance
On an obvious and simple fact of science?
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is somersaulting all around the sky
And every time it turns another somersault
Another day goes by!
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
No you can't stop it even if you try
So I'm not going to worry
No, I'm not going to worry
Every time I see another day go by
(Max)
While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle
We make a cockeyed circle round the sun
And when we circle back to where we started from
Another year has run
(Max and Elsa)
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
If the earth wants to roll around the sun
You're a fool if you worry
You're a fool if you worry
Over anything but little Number One
(Captain)
That's you!
(Elsa)
That's I
(Max)
And I
(Captain)
And me!
That all absorbing character
(Elsa)
That fascinating creature
(Max)
That super-special feature -
(All)
Me!
(Captain)
So every star and every whirling planet
And every constellation in the sky
Revolve around the center of the universe
A lovely thing called I
(All)
And there's no way to stop it
No there's no way to stop it
And I know though I cannot tell you why
(Captain)
"That's charming!"
(All)
That as long as I'm living
Just as long as I'm living
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as -
(Elsa)
I!
(All)
I - I - I
Nothing else as wonderful as I
(Maria)
An ordinary couple
Is all we'll ever be
For all I want of living
Is to keep you close to me
To laugh and weep together
While time goes on its flight
To kiss you every morning
And to kiss you every night
We'll meet our daily problems
And rest when day is done
Our arms around each other
In the fading sun
An ordinary couple
Across the years we'll ride
Our arms around each other
And our children by our side
Our arms around each other
(Captain)
"You know - those two ought to get together sometime."
(Maria)
"Who?"
(Captain)
"The Mother Abbess and Brigitta."
An ordinary couple
That's all we'll ever be
For all I want of living
Is to keep you close to me
To laugh and weep together
While time goes on its flight
To kiss you every morning
And to kiss you every night

We'll meet our daily problems
And rest when day is done
Our arms around each other
In the fading sun

Across the years we'll ride
Our arms around each other
And our children by our side
Our arms around each other

A bell is no bell till you ring it
A song is no song till you sing it
And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love till you give it away
When you're sixteen, going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart
(Liesl)
When that happens, after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow you know, you'll jump up and go
If ever he calls your name
(Maria)
Gone are your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Lo and behold, you're someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling sixteen-going-on-seventeen
Wait - a year - or two
(Liesl)
I'll wait a year -
(Both)
Or two!
(Captain)
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Ev'ry morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever -
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Every morning...

Small and white, clean and bright -

Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream

A dream that will need all the love you can give
Every day of your life for as long as you live
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
