** Even those who hated pretty much everything else about ''The Sound of Music Live!'' admit without hesitation that the chance to see Audra [=McDonald=] -- a six-time Tony winner and one of the greatest stars in Broadway history -- perform this song in character made the entire show worth it. Made even better by the occasional cuts to Carrie Underwood completely breaking character and just staring at her utterly awestruck.

The film ''is'' called ''The Sound of '''Music''''', so naturally, there's going to be certain music that really stands out. There's a reason the soundtrack made it into the UsefulNotes/NationalRecordingRegistry.

The point of this introduction is to emphasise the word "music" in the title. There's already a link back to the main page at the top anyway.

Likewise, their duet reprise of "The Sound of Music" earlier in the play, right after he asks her to stay on, is absolutely gorgeous and shows how much they're coming to fall in love with each other.

* Captain von Trapp's defiant rendition of "Edelweiss" in the face of Nazis who probably wouldn't have been too pleased that the Austrians were being reminded that they weren't ''technically'' Austria anymore (and woudn't be for almost 10 years). His choking up midsong and Maria's taking over to lead him into a duet may also qualify as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} as well. Furthermore, one of the Nazi commandants is shown singing too, revealing that he cares more for Austria than the Reich.

The grammar of this entry is a bit shaky as written. It could do with expanding anyway. (And this comes from someone who has never watched TSoM from start to finish.)

The golden pipes of Creator/JulieAndrews at her peak, Irwin Kostal's majestic orchestration of Richard Rodgers' score, the sheer grandeur of the mountain scenery, all make for an absolutely unforgettable introduction. If you know the scene at all, you're probably hearing it right now: "The hills are alive with the sound of music... with songs they have sung for a thousand years..."

** The reprise at the end of the film puts it into a literal context and possibly magnifies the greatness of the song, since it's set to the Von Trapp family literally climbing mountains to escape Nazi-domniated Austria, [[SceneryPorn captured by one of the greatest aerial landscape shots in cinema history.]]

* The family singing "So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye" as they literally vanish under the noses of the Nazis sent to take the Captain to Bremerhaven qualifies. Doubly awesome because of how effortlessly they just sauntered out of the building, and they were telling the Nazis they were fleeing the country nearly the entire time!
