Get A Clue: A week or so ago I came across this song on youtube when I was actually looking for something completely different. It is from a movie I went to see with my mother when I was a little boy.
The film is based on a broadway musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein which opened in November 1959. It was their last musical. Hammerstein died of cancer nine months after the Broadway premier.
The 1965 movie soundtrack was released by RCA Victor and is one of the most successful soundtrack albums in history, having sold over 11 million copies worldwide, and has never been out of print. The songs are so famous that most of them have their own Wikipedia page!
It is the story of the von Trapp families flight from Nazi infiltrated Austria to Switzerland, and starred Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker.
Awards: The Broadway Musical won a Tony and The film 5 Oscars, and will now be awarded a “Sunset” for being one of my favorite films – albeit one I have not seen for at least 35 years. For some reason it doesn’t appear to have been broadcast on German TV while I have been here. Well, now its top of my wishlist at amazon
I am really looking for the artist that performed this song in the movie – either the name of the character or the name of the actual artist, or if you want a bonus point, both!
Climb Every Mountain – Peggy Wood (dubbed in the film by Margery McKay)
Alan Novich, Birdjayne, Sharon, Hil, Gary, cdragonlady, Aquara1997, Bill, Carol, MikeBlue, FarawayEyz, Camelot, DianaHnt20, Lyle, Scott, Bren
Thanks all for playing ….
RIP

Peggy Wood sang it. She was the Mother Superior/Mother Abbess. It’s climb every mountain from the sound of music.
It is indeed Alan, exactly what I was looking for, and in record time too … well done for coing in first yet again
Mother Abbess – Climb Ev’ry Mountain
wtg Jayne, a great song too
climb every mountain- mother abbes- peggy wood
sharon
good work Sharon, wtg!
Well, certainly enough clues today, Dave. This is Climb Ev’ry mountain, from The Sound of Music. I guess it is sheer coincidence that I am planning to do Rodgers & Hammerstein next month as a follow-up to The Gershwins and Cole Porter. Of course, I have an mp3 for you. It is sung by The Mother Abbess, played by Peggy Wood. Peggy, not being much of a singer is dubbed by Margery McKay. Couldn’t find much on Margery.
Of course it is pure coincidence Hil, I won’t tell though
Great work as usual, it is your metier after all lol. and many thanks for the music
re: Crosby, Stills & Nash (Sometimes Young)
Is this similar to: a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y ??
lol, you had me confused for a minute there Spud! Not quite what I was looking for, but thanks for looking in anyway…cheers!
It’s sung by Peggy Wood or the Mother Abbess in the film Sound of Music.
or even both of ‘em Gary, cheers and wtg!
Climb Every Mountain
I will when I get the chance
Wtg on a fine answer
happy birthday {{{{{{{Marcia}}}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{{{{Dave}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} thats from The Sound Of Music Climb Ev’ry Mountain sung by Peggy Wood as the gentle Mother Abbess
Gentle? I seem to have a slightly diffeent memory of her Cheryl
But she had a good heart I am sure, wtg!
That’s from “Climb Every Mountain” from “The Sound Of Music”
– Phiz
no doubt about it Bill, wtg!
The Sound of Music
Climb Every Mountain
Mother Abbess
Peggy Wood
That was easy!
well I sure am sorry Carol …
But it gets a lot of answers, and that’s what I’m after…. wtg!
{{{{{Dave}}}}}
I think the singer in the movie is Peggy Wood.
Wow…7th grade music class…my eye opener for Mike for so many new kinds of music….chronologically from Handel to Bernstein…listening to The Sound of Music….Edelweiss, The Sound of Music, Sixteen Going On Seventeen, My Favorite Things, and of course, this one…Climb Every Mountain….gotta love that final note
Mike (MSchoBlue)
well I’m glad it brought back memories Mike… I have great memories of this song too… wtg!
Climb Every Mountain – from The Sound of Music (of course)
Peggy Wood, as the Mother Abbess, was the singer.
….and what little girl’s first crush wasn’t the Captain, with his strict, suave manner and his broken heart??!!?!
And Christopher Plummer’s looks didn’t hurt either.
Again, thanks to all the vets — I’ll say especially WWII today, owing to the setting of this movie.
well thanks for the insight into the mind of a little girl
I think they have other heroes these days though… wtg!

Happy Birthday Marcia Marcia Marcia!
Right you are Camelot… well done!
“Climb every Mountain” from “Sound of Music. Sung by Peggy Wood, playing the Mother Abbess (dubbed by Margery McKay)
Diana
right on the spot Diana, well done!!
Sound of Music : Climb Every Mountain
Peggy Wood (Ghosted by Marjorie McKay … Mother Abbess
Hey Lyle… great answer, wtg!!
In the Sound of Music, Peggy Wood as Mother Superior seems to be singing Climb Every Mountain, but she couldn’t hit the high notes, so they ghosted in Marjorie McKay, whose voice you actually hear in the movie.
ahhh the damned overdubs, hey? Well done Scott…cheers!

Exactly what I was looking for Bren, wtg!!
And I am also looking for your pics too I’m afraid
Somehow they don’t want to be publiched on this page and after an hour of fighting with them, I admitted defeat and gave up… very frustrating. something to look into for next month…
