“Edelweiss” is a show
tune from the popular 1959 Rodgers and
Hammerstein musical
The Sound of Music.
It is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found
high in the Alps and was
sung by Captain Georg Ludwig von Trapp and his family during the concert near
the end of Act II as a defiant
statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join
the navy of Nazi Germany.
Which, interestingly enough,
brings us down a steep powdery slope to the base of a
mountain in Taos Ski Valley,
New Mexico. Welcome to
Edelweiss Lodge & Spa!
