From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"My Favorite Things"
Song
Published1959 by Williamson Music
VenueJazz, Holiday
Composer(s)Richard Rodgers
Lyricist(s)Oscar Hammerstein II

"My Favorite Things" is a song from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music.

In the original Broadway production, this song was introduced by Mary Martin playing Maria and Patricia Neway playing Mother Abbess. Julie Andrews, who played Maria in the 1965 film version of the musical, had previously sung it on the 1961 Christmas special for The Garry Moore Show. Although the song does not explicitly refer to the Christmas season, the list of favorite things includes sleigh bells, snowflakes and silver white winters. The song has become a holiday favorite, especially on radio, ever since.

In 2004, the movie version of the song finished at number 64 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
