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.
