(Interlude: The Sound of Music (Maria), Maria (Nuns))

Maria arrives at the home of Captain Georg Von Trapp and finds out that he is a man with seven children A widower, his long life in the navy and the grief of his deceased wife made him treat his children as strictly as he would a soldier. Soon, Maria understood the reason why the former tutors left.

The colonel asked Maria to be as strict as him, but Maria did not listen. Instead, she won the friendship of the children with her natural gentleness and kindness. While the colonel was away, she used curtains to sew game costumes for each child, took them to the market, had picnics in the beautiful Alps, and taught them to sing. The children's original restraint and melancholy were gradually replaced by music and laughter.

The movie "The Sound of Music" is adapted from a true story

Baron Trapp was born on April 4, 1880. He wore a huge propaganda poster (Zara) , was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father was a naval captain, and he also wanted to devote himself to the navy, so he attended the Royal Naval College. While still a young Navy captain, he was assigned to command the U6 submarine. During World War I, a French submarine was sunk by Trapp's submarine. In 1918, King Joseph I promoted him to Lieutenant Commander. After the war, Austria lost its coastline and no longer needed a navy. Not only did Colonel Trapp lose his position, he also lost his wife in 1924, leaving him with seven children to care for.

Maria was born on January 25, 1905. Her mother died when she was about two years old, and her cousin became her foster mother, and they lived in a small house on the outskirts of Vienna. She received a rigorous education. After three years of high school, she entered the National Normal College for four years. Maria was originally a socialist and an atheist, but during college, a famous priest began to preach to her, which changed Maria's life and beliefs. Maria joined the Sisters' Mountain Convent in Salzburg and became a nun. The convent decided to let Maria leave for a year and work as a governess in the house of Baron Trapp to take care of one of his daughters who suffered from rheumatic fever.

A year later, the children asked their father to try to keep Maria, and they even suggested that he should marry her. I don't know if she likes me! replied the Baron. So the children asked Maria themselves. Because Maria said, yes, I like him. They are engaged. She never returned to the convent as a nun and married the baron on November 26, 1927. The Trapp family has two more daughters.

In 1935, Father Vaznet entered their lives. He made music a passion for the family. Their natural, fresh voices and pure singing enabled them to win first place in the chorus competition at the 1935 Salzburg Music and Drama Festival. They lost all their money during the Great Depression and were invited to tour Europe.

In 1938, when Hitler invaded Austria, Trapp would rather lose his material possessions than retain his dignity. They left their villa and all their possessions on the outskirts of Salzburg and headed to the United States.

In September 1938, they arrived in New York. On the way, the 10th child was born. Father Vaznet also traveled to the United States with them. Under his guidance, singing became their profession, and the Trapp Family Chorus gradually became famous. After World War II, the Trapp family established a musical charity organization: the Trapp Family Austrian Relief Society, which sent countless food and clothing to their native Austria.

In 1941, Trapp bought a large farm in a rural area of ??Fairmont, which was similar to the scenery they missed in Salzburg, Austria. They named their house "A Heart of Loyalty."

On May 30, 1947, Trapp died and was buried in the family cemetery in the backyard of the house. When they ended their singing career of more than 20 years and more than 30 countries, they converted their large Austrian-style wooden house into an inn. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire in December 1980. They immediately decided to rebuild. The design of the Trapp family's new cabin is modern but still retains the flavor of the past. Maria died on March 28, 1987 and was buried next to her husband in the cemetery.
