First of all it is Not the Austrian national anthem! ( you:d be surprised) song does express national feelings- without martial elements ( no bombs bursting in air) this is unusual, but one can argue God Bless America is an essentially non-martial Patriotic song. From what I understand, Edelweiss- which means Noble White ( a flower) is either A. a folk song of Austrian origin which was adapted for the play ( Sound of Music) or B. a commercial song written specifically for the play and later movie. I don"t like it. I can"t imagine how a rare product of the botanical kingdom could be said to ( Bless my Homeland forever!) maybe a Bald Eagle, or for that matter, a Siberian Tiger, but a passive plant? it doesn:t Grok- that"s just my opinion. I saw the Play back in c. l962 and ( it was my first stage play I saw) it turned me off like a dead battery. music- some of it exquisite- some of it stagey- but very little comedy- except for some (Mickey Mouse) stuff of kids jumping up on stairs in the beginning- in a sort of role call. I didn"t like it.
