The Sound of Music

A joyful woman in a pink dress dances across a mountain meadow with a guitar case in one hand and a striped bag in the other. She’s surrounded by smiling children in yellow dresses running through the grass. A stern man in a tan jacket stands off to the side with mountains and a city in the background. Above them, the title The Sound of Music swirls with colorful musical notes, and the tagline reads “The Happiest Sound in All the World.”
