"The Lonely Goatherd" is a popular #showTune from the 1959 #RodgersAndHammerstein musical #TheSoundOfMusic. The song is well known for its examples of #yodeling, a part of the traditional music of the #AustrianAlps, where the musical is set. (#MariaVonTrapp, however, found the yodeling in the motion picture version of The Sound of Music rendition to be lacking in authenticity.)

Picture from last night, in my dressing room, as I was waiting to sing “You’ll never walk alone” from the musical Carousel by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II at the New Year's reception of the Darmstadt 98 sports club, also called “Die Lilien”.
For some reason, that’s a football anthem!?! Gotta love them for picking a work by Jews! Go Lilien!

Rodgers & Hammerstein
RCA Victor Presents Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific (An Original Soundtrack Recording)
1958, Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, RCA Victor – LSO-1032
CanadaAppropriate today more than most, Hula Girl is overlooking me spinning one of my earlier charity shop finds for quality.
The South Pacific #Soundtrack is in great condition -- probably a VG+ or better. Cover is in great shape, still in shrink, and the LP is also in great shape, VG+ or better.
Also some great tunes!

The soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of the era; 31 weeks at #1 on Billboard (making it one of the longest-running chart-toppers in history).

"Do-Re-Mi" is a #showTune from the 1959 #RodgersAndHammerstein musical #TheSoundOfMusic. Each syllable of the musical solfège system appears in the song's lyrics, sung on the pitch it names. Rodgers was helped in its creation by long-time arranger #TrudeRittmann who devised the extended vocal sequence in the song. The tune finished at #88 in #AFIs100Years100Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema in 2004.
