I watch this movie about three times a week currently. Usually just the first half because my kids fall asleep before intermission. The first hour/hour and fifteen minutes of this movie is just banger after banger. All Gas No Brakes until after favorite things but a case can be made that Do Re Mi ends the spectacular run of songs.
My Favourite Things or Edelweiss duet with Liesl. 😍
The Muppets’ remake is gold too, Julie Andrews did a great job there.
It was only a few weeks ago that I learned “do, re, mi,” etc., are the actual names of the notes in other languages, or at least French. My wife found it confusing that English uses letters, and even more that do is the same note as C in English, so they don’t even start with the same note.
Do is the root of a key in movable Do solfeggio. In the most natural key, C, Do would be C. Basically, solfeggio is relative, not absolute. Most instrumental pedagogy use absolute pitches in North America. Vocal pedagogy has more use of relative pitches. This makes sense, as many instruments have absolute means of playing most notes. The voice does not.

Edit: Don’t ask me why A isn’t the root of the most neutral key. No idea why it’s C.
I’m partial to the Junior Vasquez remix of “Climb Every Mountain” myself.
Yooodele-hiiiii
i’ve had an unnatural affinity for marionettes since that sequence…
Wasn’t just the song that slaps, then.
i feel specifically called out, here…lol
