Jaden Thompson “Sound of Music” fans prepare: “Something Good” is coming your way. A new version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” soundtrack, featuring more than 40 previously unreleased tracks and unheard vocals by Christopher Plummer, will debut on Dec. 1.
Released by Craft Recordings, this Super Deluxe Edition — one of many remixed and remastered issues — has 11 alternate takes from the film that audiences have never heard before. The iconic 1965 musical stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer as a spunky governess and a strict father of seven who fall in love in Austria against the backdrop of the start of World War II. While Plummer did record songs for the film, his vocals were ultimately dubbed over by Bill Lee.
Now, almost 60 years later, Plummer’s versions will be available for fans to hear. He died in February 2021 at the age of 91 after a decades-long career in acting. Previously unheard songs include “The Little Dears,” which combines “I Have Confidence” and “My Favorite Things,” as well as “New Governess,” which was never featured in the film.
All of the musical moments in the film will be featured on the Super Deluxe Edition, including “Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Edelweiss,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” An unheard rendition of “Prelude/The Sound of Music,” sung by Andrews, is already available to stream. Film historian and preservationist Mike Matessino, an associate of director Robert Wise, remixed and remastered the album and included liner notes in the boxed set. “You will hear what you’ve heard before, famous songs with the mellifluous tones of Dame Julie Andrews leading the way,” Matessino wrote.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The songs and score of the new film “Dicks: The Musical” are deadpan, but about as far away from dead and humanly and musically possible. It sounds like a fully fleshed-out Broadway musical brought to vibrant life on the big screen, even though it went directly from being a two-man mini-show in a New York comedy club to a movie with a traditonal-sounding, fully orchestrated song score, the scope of which is matched only by the gleeful vulgarity of the lyrics.

Björk and Rosalía have shared their first official collaboration, a 75-second song protesting fish farming in Iceland. It exists only on YouTube and is appropriately titled — for now, at least — “help fight fish farming in iceland.” The Icelandic art-pop legend and Spanish flamenco-pop superstar sing a capella and in unison on the track, repeating a simple refrain: “Is that the right thing to do? / Is that the right thing to do? / Oh, I just don’t know / I just don’t know.” A statement shared by Björk explains that the track will be officially released later this month, with proceeds going toward the legal fees of the people on the front lines of an ongoing protest against a new fish farm in Fjord Seyðisfjörður.
