Sound of Music Live- Do-Re-Mi (Act I, Scene 4b)

This is a gem of a classic that warmly portrays how music opens children’s hearts.

Crafted by American composer Richard Rodgers to make learning the basics of the musical scale fun, the song was born in 1959 as part of the Broadway musical The Sound of Music.

Julie Andrews’s performance in the 1965 film adaptation is etched deeply in the hearts of people around the world.

In the English version, the choice of words aligned with the scale is exquisite, and in Japan, Peggy Hayama’s Japanese version—which aired on NHK’s Minna no Uta in April 1961—has been loved by many for its friendly, accessible lyrics.

It’s a song you can enjoy singing together with family and friends.

It was performed in Motown the Musical, which premiered on Broadway in 2013, captivating audiences.

Based on the autobiography of Motown founder Berry Gordy, the work traces the remarkable success of an African American–owned label.

Seamlessly blending elements of soul, funk, and R&B, it reminds us of the universal power of music.

“The King and I” depicts an exchange sparked by a cultural encounter between the King of Siam and an Englishwoman.

Depending on how you look at it, it can feel condescending toward the East, but as a story set in the 19th century, the king’s tentative yet dignified dancing—never losing his royal bearing—is one of its highlights.
