Julie Andrews, Your Crowning Glory

It started with British sounds and accents in my head, eg. Ron Weasley’s “the cah…!” and Julie Andrews‘ “dear, little gihl….” I ended up with a ‘melodious laugh,’ a ‘well-honed wit…’ but putting this musing aside, Your Crowning Glory is without a doubt my favorite song from Princess Diaries II. The lyrics and the vocal harmony are so beautifully done.

Monday’s Music Moves Me is hosted by XmasDolly, Shewbridges of Central Florida, JAmerican Spice, Stacy Uncorked and Cathy Kennedy’s Blog. Larry of Cakeblast is the honorary co-conductor for the month of July.

To my MMMM friends: Due to work and travel I have not been able to participate in this fun meme for several weeks but I’m happy to be back playing again, this time and onwards here on Stasia Desiderata as I have decided to give up my other blog, Aisling Cottage where I used to have my music posts on.

Few of my Favorite Things

Julie Andrews, My Favorite Things, Sound of Music

Julie Andrews allegedly sang a parody of the Sound of Music tune My Favorite Things at an AARP benefit to commemorate her 69th birthday. I thought it was fun and interesting, even though there was no confirmation that Julie Andrews did sing it. Thus, ‘allegedly’ as About.com-Urban Legends put it.

I was thirty-five then, and getting conscious of the fact that in five years my life would begin. I like believing in “life begins at forty.” To mark my 40th birthday last year I did my own lyrics revision. And came up with this: 


If you are not familiar with my blog: CJ is my son, Mozart is my fur kid (picture on sidebar), my mother is a soprano, and I am usually her piano accompanist. My father’s second wife, RIP Father, was the chess; and my mother beat him in scrabble mercilessly. I grew up watching an uncle’s ballroom dances and staring in wonder at his trophies. My pet peeve is internet/computer inaccessibility. I hate a runny nose with fervor and although I am stuck in the city, I am a country girl at heart. And oh, in case you were wondering about the three ***, that is deliberate as I haven’t yet found the person who will take the place of those asterisks.

I tried singing my own lyrics to the tune. It was crazy, but fun.
