What to know about ''Climb Ev'ry Mountain'' from The Sound of Music
Written by legendary composers Rodgers and Hammerstein for the 1959 musical, ''Climb Ev'ry Mountain'' takes place at the end of the first act by character Mother Abbess as a symbol of hope. The song has since been covered by Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Christina Aguilera, Audra McDonald, Barbara Streisand, and more.
In 2022, Playbill listed ''Climb Ev'ry Mountain'' as the best Rodgers and Hammerstein tune. ''The song is so ubiquitous because of its quality and impact,'' the outlet wrote of the track. ''There's a reason Rodgers & Hammerstein gave this song to a nun; it is spiritual. The theatre is a temple and Rodgers & Hammerstein have given us a holy benediction,'' it added.
