Edelweiss

Speaking of the Sound of Music. Here is one of the most beautiful recordings of Edelweiss I've ever heard. Just a little background on the flower and the song: Edelweiss is a small flower that grows high in the mountains, and is very hard to get. Because of this, a person would give Edelweiss to someone to show them how much they truly loved them. --Edelweiss was the last song that lyricist Oscar Hammerstein wrote before he died. thorughout the years, many have mistaken it to be an Austrian song. The sweet timeless melody and heartfelt lyrics have continued to make this a well known and well loved song all over the world.
