This is still by far the most beautiful classic version of this song. As beautiful today as it was then, and the words are so important. I only wish the recorded quality on this vid was better, but still very glad to find it. Thank you.
disculpen mi intromision soy carlos de argentina y puedo afirmar que he escuchado la version original ;y la recuerdo por ciertas modulaciones vocales, la voz no era tan "de ópera", tenía unos quiebres de voz espectaculares; la voz era más de "abadesa" que de cantante lírica... y su registro lo tengo grabado a fuego en mi memoria y mi corazón... hacia el final recuerdo que tenía 8 ó 10 años y se me hacía un nudo en la garganta (igual que como lo cantaba ella).digan lo que digan no es original
the singer's name is correctly spelled Margery MacKay, not McKay. She is the mother of a close childhood friend and was our Camp Fire Girl and Bluebird troop leader in elementary school. She never received adequate credit or compensation for her solo in this high-box office movie.
I made a typo it should read - Peggy Wood wanted Margery McKay to dub this song for her in the film because Margery's voice reminded Peggy Wood of her
The ending of this movie always makes me so happy they got away but at the same time very sad that they had to leave behind everything they knew in Austria....
Such an emotional movie that warms my heart... I feel all the emotions of the characters and the songs are just breath taking.
Does this song remind anyone of the Largo from Dvorak's ninth symphony? I was listening to it the other day and kept finding myself wanting to sing, "A dream that will need all the love you can give..."
The Mother Superior who sings Climb Every Mountain was played by Peggy Wood. She is credited in the film. Peggy Wood was a renowned opera singer. For more info see imdb.com
As a child I watch this and wanted to be a catholic nun. This went down like a lead balloon as I went to a Church of England School. I've never got the religious thing but I love this.
I loved this movie, very much. One of my all time top ten. This song to this day sends chills down my arms because of the power and beauty. Love it love it love it!
My dad took my entire family - 6 girls and Mom, to the drive-in to see this in 1968. My sweet father died this year, and every time I hear this I remember on my wedding day how this was played right before we walked down the aisle together because I loved this song so much!!
40+ years later, this song still stops me in my tracks. Truly one of the greatest themes in cinema- right up there with "Gone With The Wind- Tara's theme" and the "Lawrence of Arabia" theme... thank you for this!
Rogers and Hammerstein fudged the truth quite a bit with the musical and eventually with the movie. First, the Captain and Maria met in 1926. Second, she came as a tutor, not a governess. Third, they ended up with 10 children, not 7. The Captain loved music throughout his life. The list goes on.
This is the repalcement singer for Peggy Wood in this film. Her name is Margery
McKay. Peggy Wood, who was in her seventies when this movie was made,
didn't feel her voice was strong enough to sing this song. She did sing along with the other nuns at the beginning when Maria was late to be at the convent.
Marnie Nixon being one of the other nuns. Had Peggy Wood been younger,
she would have sung this song easily since she had been a Broadway star and
This is a story of a probationary nun a novice who was sent to be governess of the children of a "retired Austrian Naval officer" who was also a practicing Catholic who was to be recalled to the Furher's German Navy who saw the True evil of Der Fuhrer and took his entire family right after Marrying Maria across the mountains on foot to Switzerland to escape the forced return to service
I had the soundtrack LP when I was eight but it has disappeared over time. Will have to purchase CD. The ending of the film with the choir singing the song is just as beautiful and awe inspiring.
I was 10 years old when i saw the sound of music, i'm now 46 wow. I'm watching it now.A special thanks to Andrews & Plumber for making a wonderful movie
This is in fact not Peggy Wood singing. In the film (and of course then the soundtrack from which this comes), she was dubbed by an opera singer called Margery McKay .
@iskenderuna In the 1960s there was a lot of censorship. Mother Superior was actually telling Maria it was okay to give up her vows of chastity and climb the baloney pony (in Hollywood, "mountain" is code for large penis). Check out the Oscar Mayer commercial "My Baloney has a first name." Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. And Oscar Goodman is mayor of Las Vegas.
Climb every mountain, Search high and low, Follow every highway, Every path you know.
Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, 'Till you find your dream.
A dream that will need All the love you can give, Every day of your life
For as long as you live.
Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, Till you find your dream
A dream that will need
All the love you can give, Every day of your life, For as long as you live.

Grandfather Mountain
Have you ever been to Grandfather Mountain
We climbed up ladders to get to the top
Ladders that I was sure that my Grandfather built
When I was seven years old
Ladders that stretched beyond the horizon
Ladders built on the shoulders of giants

Peggy Wood did not sing Climb Every Mountain in the film. It was the voice of
Margery McKay. I studied voice with Margery McKay about thirty years ago.
Peggy Wood picked out Margery McKay to dub this song for her in the film
because Margery's voice reminded Peggy Wood of her own voice when she
was longer. You can see this on Wikipedia under Peggy Wood.
