My Favorite Songs Maria Von Trapp's Childhood Folk Songs
Austrian Folk Songs Translated by Maria von Trapp
with Photos and Stories from Her Life
Maria Agatha Franzisca Gobertina von Trapp is the third child of Georg Ritter von Trapp and was a member of the Trapp Family Singers, once described by conductor Robert Shaw as "the greatest choral group in the history of recorded sound." Made famous in the movie The Sound of Music, Maria has a passion for singing, as she writes: "Sing in the shower, in the car, while washing dishes or even at work! Sing alone or with family and friends, but just sing, sing, sing!" And now you can follow her advice with this collection of old Austrian folk tunes she has translated into English, alongside original artwork, photographs, and stories from Maria's childhood, life in the Trapp Family Singers, and missions work.
Includes CD with songs from the Von Trapp children
