The Sound Of Music is one of Hollywood’s Golden Age's most iconic musical movies, with songs like “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “So Long Farewell,” and “Edelweiss” still echoing to this day. The 1965 movie featured Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, whose unreleased songs for the film are being reproduced. Plummer’s contribution is recognized in the new soundtrack with his 40 previously unreleased tracks, instrumentals of each song, and 11 never-before-heard alternate takes. Sadly, he died at 91 in February 2021, while his co-star, Julie, is still alive and turning 88 in October. ‘The Sound Of Music’ unreleased tracks are now seeing the light of day THE SOUND OF MUSIC, from left: Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews. 1965.

"But the experience has been transformed beyond what the 1965 soundtrack album offered.” RELATED: Christopher Plummer: Remembering The Life and Career Of Captain Von Trapp From ‘The Sound Of Music’ Mike also revealed there will be “extensions to the songs…and even some segments not used in the completed version of the film.” “I think everything started with being a fan, but it is actually ‘The Sound of Music’ that is responsible for me getting into that field,” he said, explaining how he took up the project. He praised the classic, saying he “gained a brand-new appreciation of it all over again.” THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, 1965, TM and Copyright (c)20th Century Fox Film Corp.

The orchestrations, what a genius Richard Rogers was,” he gushed. “The fact that you can get that, even if you worked on something, deconstructed it, and reverse-engineered it all the way down to its inception, says something about just how good it is.” THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Julie Andrews, director Robert Wise (third from left), Paul Lockwood (camera operator), Ted D.

The idea of a deluxe edition was a recreation and arguably a tribute to Plummer, who played Captain George Von Trapp in the iconic film and a testimony of the classic’s longevity. “The screenwriter told me that he thinks that people will be watching this movie in 1,000 years— and I think he's right,” Mike affirmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vBXR1_otx8do&
