Notes:

“Climb Ev’ry Mountain” is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is sung at the close of the first act by the Mother Abbess. It is themed as an inspirational piece, to encourage people to take every step toward attaining their dreams.

The song has often been sung by operatically trained voices in professional stage productions. In the original Broadway production it was sung by Patricia Neway, in the original London production it was sung by Constance Shacklock, and in the original Australian production it was sung by Rosina Raisbeck.

It has been repeatedly recorded since, including: 1959 (Tony Bennett), 1960 (Andy Williams), 1961 (Shirley Bassey), 1971 (Judith Durham), 1984 (Tammy Wynette), 1989 (Sissel Kyrkjebø), 1990 (The Fleetwoods), 1992 (Alex Burrall), 2000 (Christina Aguilera), 2003 (Guy Sebastian), 2013 (Jacqui Dark), 2016 (Barbra Streisand), and 2019 (John Owen-Jones).

In 2023 David Johnstone made probably the first version for cello ensemble – in eight parts, and more-or-less divided into two groups [cellos 1-4 and cellos 5-8]. Despite some high registers in the two top voices, it should not be that hard for medium-to-advanced ensembles to play well. Virtually every voice has moments of interest, so this might be appealing for orchestral cello sections or summer courses!
