The song starts at 0:26 on the dot, and you could use this as a New Year’s countdown as well, by starting this video right there at exactly 11:59:00PM. The song is exactly one minute long, so that beautiful final note will play right as the clock strikes midnight.
@@launcesmechanist9578 Actually it's not German, this version of Edelweiss was composed for The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers (an American composer). People keep mistaking it for a folk song.
me too. i've been wanting to collect music boxes for a while. i've only got three at the moment, and one of them was a disc music box. i used to love it when i was a kid : )
for me its specifically these special disc music boxes, their sound is so rich and resonant compared to the more popular cylinder ones with no soundboard! absolutely beautiful pieces of machinery!
when i was a baby I had a little music box that played this song. it had little white flowers on it. I was given it before my great aunt died...and then because of an idiot in the family that I had left in Washington pretty much just boxed up her belongings and did God only knows what with them, my music box was lost forever....this is the closest I'll ever get to hearing its sweet sound again :'

It feels weirdly eery listening to a song that probably old grandmas listened to in the late 1800s, but that I only connect to the dystopian The Man In The High Castle
The song was written in the 1950s for the Broadway Musical 'The Sound of Music' by Rogers & Hammerstein so it wouldn't have been heard in the 1800s ... some people think it's an old Austrian folk song ... but it isn't. The disc shown in the video is of recent manufacture and is made by the Porter Music Box Company based in Vermont, USA.
Edelweiss.. Edelweiss... Every morning you greet me. Small and white, clean and bright. You seem happy to meet me. Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow. Bloom and grow forever. Edelweiss, edelweiss. Bless my homeland forever.
This used to be our "lullaby", or mine if i remember at least, as a child. And watching this on a 5 am after doing all my homework cause its the only undisturbed time i could get all day, and it hasn't been what id call a good one(day), spending half the night trying not to break down, and a recovering but in a vegetative coma state brother meters away from me and this on a music box just hits different now. Im not even a pre adult yet, but i really want to feel how it felt to be a child again.
This is the last song that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together - Hammerstein died nine months later from stomach cancer. A life well-lived, a life well-ended.
I love the Sound of Music:)! Edelweiss is not only symbolic of the innocence in the Children at that time of Nazi Occupied Austria, but the music box itself adds to the quality of that innocence:)
The Edelweiss is the national flower of Austria and the song (from/in the movie "The Sound of Music") was actually used/intended as a song of resistance against the invading Nazi Germans. "Edel-weiss" means "Noble-white".
@@stillbill6408 That is very true!! And in fact in The Sound of Music the German officer that was going to take the Father would with him to serve in the German military, was highly annoyed when the entire audience started singing Edelweiss!!! And in addition to this being the national flower of Austria is Edelweiss, it also felt like a form of resistance against the dark evil of the Nazis with the words "pure and white meaning a pure; clean and bright" innocence which Nazis are far from innocent to put mildly!!
Every time I hear this song I always think of my aunt who is no longer with me and also it makes me thinkl of my dad and I when I was little. Still such a beautiful song on a beautiful music box.
and then give you a beautiful bouquet of lilies and then the two of you run through the Windows XP desktop background while the string section starts providing harmony I refuse to say whether I'm high
the German letter ß is called in old times and still nowadays "es-zet" which means s plus z. The ß is just a very sharp s like in the English word sausage. There was even a German Chocolate which was called EsZet with a s and a z on the wrapper. The letter has a very old tradition in German speaking countries leading back to the 16th century and the time of Martin Luther.
Hearing music boxes take me back when I was a baby like during 2006 or 2007 mom feeding me with baby food dad putting one of my favorite tv shows nostalgia at its finest
I play edelweiss on the violin and it sounds beautiful when ever I play it and especially when my violin teacher attended at a concert people were crying when edelweiss was playing it just sounded perfect especially on that music box
Nowadays the music-box is electronically imitated by quartz clocks that contains electronically programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker to mark the hours. Even some door bells too contains electronically programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker so that they electronically imitates the same.

AmpicoGM - where did you have this disc remade? I'd love to get a copy for my Regina player, but having a hard time finding a supplier who will do a remake. Additionally, would love to purchase a copy of the sheet music used to recreate this song if you have access to the copy you/company used. Thanks in Advance :-)

same bro...
i was confused with fnaf comment, when here i am knowing this song from sound of music
But your the third top comment...
TARDIS!
I didn't see a thing related to fnaf until your comment.
What about The Man in the High Castle

One day you will find it I’m sure good luck

TheNekoMimiGamer i hope you’ll find that music box their sound is so beautiful i bet you’ll hear it in your heart 😉
I think these music box sounds have been overused in horror movies, because this just feels like a hectic sweaty nightmare to me.
I think of carousel 🎠
my opinion is, that this type of music is used to feel the player safety and the horror figure kicks in to scare his victim the hell out of him.
This does not sound scary at all. Maybe because of the song?
Imagine if the nightmare is fnaf
I actually added this on my old FNAF fan game as the power outage music box
Imagine walking into a abandoned building and hearing this from a far.
Me: can we get vinyl record?

Why the heck FNAF was the first thing that came up on my mind when the music plays
Because the Music Box in FNAF 1 is literally ripped by this instrument
This is absolutely beautiful to me.
To the person who uploaded this: thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I cried for a little bit, my grandpa used to sing this to me when I was younger, I miss him everyday..
*POV: this just got recommended to you and you're scrolling the comments trying to find out why...*
I get a bit teary when I hear this song, because both my mother and grandmother used to sing this song to me as a child.
I'm surprised how little people have brought up the sound of music
reminds me of being little and listening to my grandparent's music box, but also reminds me of being little and playing fnaf on my ipod touch at lunch
what
This just makes me think of the movie “The Sound of Music”. Anybody else?
*When i hear this i know Freddy is nearby...*
In the Sound of Music musical I'm in the villain is played by a guy named freddy
Heck, not the only one who thought that.
My heart skipped a bet when it started playing
its not this. its called toreador march. its totally different.
@@DreyNv03 yes that's what it was called. From Carmen right?
Commonly known as "The Man in the High Castle" intro.
that's probably why the algorythm showed it to me

Uncommonly known as the song from Sound of Music.
@@istolethispfpsorry485 "Uncommonly?" It's one of the most famous and successful musicals of all time...
不思議で素敵な音色ですね。いつまででも聞いていたくなります。
I get goose bumps hearing this music box simply because of how rich the the sound is. Simply beautiful.
Every time I hear this song I always think of my aunt who is no longer with me and also it makes me thinkl of my dad and I when I was little. Still such a beautiful song on a beautiful music box.
I understand....so sorry for your loss...Music can illicit a lot of emotions.....all the best to you, and glad you are enjoying the music box. .
Thanks.
I am sorry for your loss. My Father passed in 2008, but I also have nice memories of watching The Sound of Music with my Late Dad when I was a child.
My mom used to sing this me when I was little. This made me tear up a bit.
I loved how this sounded. I was in tears and nearly asleep at the same time. Wow....
What an absolutely GLORIOUS sound!!
An echo of joy from the past... happier times... truly beautiful.
Why do I feel like if music ends, some kind of animatronic's gonna pop out of my screen
and then give you a beautiful bouquet of lilies and then the two of you run through the Windows XP desktop background while the string section starts providing harmony

The pattern of notes on that gorgeous polished disc looks like the image of an edelweiss flower!
Sounds good. Or like we in germany say: "Hört sich gut an!"
Cant stop myself from singing this now. Beautiful piece
I would love to download this beautiful melody as a ringtone. I grew up with the sound of music songs.
Am i the only one sorta hearing this as five nights at freddys
No, you are not...

That’s live music every time it’s played. Thank you.
I closed my eyes to “better” hear it and not get distracted by the player. It was really nice. I’d have the poor thing worn out in a couple of days.
That is just gorgeous. I love how you put that on there..
Always been a favorite of my song since I was a little kid and watch the sound of music

Quite magical, a joy to listen to.
Why does the reverb. pulse so at the end (1:25)? I think it's lovely, just puzzling!
Really nice~! The regina music box kinda reminds me a record player
