The Sound of Music~ "Climb Every Mountain"

The Sound of Music~ "Climb Every Mountain"


Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical film directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

The film is based on the Broadway musical The Sound of Music, with songs written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, and with the musical book written by the writing team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and screenplay written by Ernest Lehman.

The musical originated with the book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp.

It contains many popular songs, including "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Do-Re-Mi", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", and "The Lonely Goatherd", as well as the title song.

The movie version was filmed on location in Salzburg, Austria; Bavaria in Southern Germany; and at the 20th Century Fox Studios in California.

It was photographed in 70mm Todd-AO format by Ted D. McCord. It won a total of five Academy Awards including Best Picture and displaced Gone with the Wind as the highest-grossing film of all-time.

The cast album was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry as it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

"Edelweiss", thought by some to be a traditional Austrian song or even the Austrian national anthem, was written expressly for the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Originally unknown in Austria, it has been promoted heavily there ever since, especially in Salzburg.[citation needed]

The songs "How Can Love Survive?", "An Ordinary Couple", and "No Way to Stop It" were not used in the film version.

The omission of those songs had to be approved through Richard Rodgers.[citation needed]

There were four extra children singing with the main ones to add more effect to their voices, including Darleen Carr, Charmian Carr's younger sister.

However, these were uncredited. Darleen Carr sang Kurt's high voice, during the reprise and "sad" versions of the title song, as well as the high "Bye" in the song "So Long, Farewell", and later for Gretl in its reprise towards the end of the film.[citation needed]
