Description
The classic movie The Sound of Music was based on the true story of an Austrian woman named Maria von Trapp. Rodgers and Hammerstein researched the musical theories of a monk named Guido d’Arezzo and wrote the popular song “Do-Re-Mi” for the movie.
This book will tell the true story behind the first notes – Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and Ti and the monk called Guido who penned them. Though not readily accepted by his friends, his theories spread across Europe and elsewhere and led to the idea of written music. The text includes illustrations. This hardcover book is also wrapped with a colorful sleeve. More information about the song, a monk’s life, history about Guido’s life, and glossary are found at the end of the story. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of First Notes: Story of Do, Re, Mi
A stunning new picture book from beloved icon Julie Andrews and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, that introduces readers to the remarkable story of the development of written music, and speaks to the beauty of music and the power of perseverance. Featuring the illustrated lyrics to “Do-Re-Mi” and an author’s note about Julie Andrews’s connection to the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song!
Centuries ago, a young Italian monk named Guido longed to find a way to write and teach music. Eventually, he created the musical scale, using the words Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do…one syllable for each note. Though the other monks thought it was a waste of time, Guido's music couldn't be silenced. His discovery remains the foundation for learning music today, and inspired the famous song “Do-Re-Mi,” which Julie Andrews sang in the beloved movie The Sound of Music.
This richly illustrated picture book from beloved icon Julie Andrews and her daughter, bestselling author Emma Walton Hamilton, introduces readers to the remarkable story of Guido d’Arezzo’s development of musical notation. In addition to the lyrics of "Do-Re-Mi" illustrated in full color, the backmatter includes an author’s note, extensive historical notes, and a glossary.
