The Sound of Music - Do Re Mi

Do-Re-Mi is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical film The Sound of Music.

In the film, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the Von Trapp children who learn to sing for the first time.

She and the children sing this song over a montage as they wander and frolic over Salzburg.

Each syllable of the musical solfège system appears in the song’s lyrics, sung on the pitch it names, e.g.

Doe: a deer, a female deer, alludes to the first solfège syllable, do, and so on.

This song is often regarded to be among the top 100 tunes in American cinema.

Reminisce on this.
