Resumo

There are very few people around the globe today who do not recognize the music and lyrics of the Sound of Music, a musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp and brought to life by the Academy Award–winning 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, among others. The touching “So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye,” sung by the slowly departing von Trapp family near the end of the movie while the judges decide on the prizes and before they announce the winners, still resonates in the hearts and ears of many of us when we near the close of a life period, a relationship, a career path, or a memory.
