It`s been 58 years since the musical drama, The Sound of Music, starring actors Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, enthralled cinema-goers world over. The film, based on a 1949 memoir by novitiate-turned-governess Maria Von Trapp on the lives of the Von Trapp family singers of Austria, had its moments. Remember the breathtaking opening scenes where Maria, played by Andrews, wanders through the sunny valleys of Salzburg, singing her ode to the hills? Or the awkward moment when she comes face to face with what seems like a large troop of children, all drilled to military perfection by their retired naval officer father? 

Nothing comes close, though, to the stellar musical composition by Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II.
