By Margery McKay. By Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Broadway,Musical/Show,Standards. Score and parts. 4 pages. Phil Beaman #4885979. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844658).

Climb Ev'ry Mountain, from the stage musical The Sound of Music, is a favorite repertoire standard. This instrumental duet arrangement is written in an expressive way which allows that beautiful melody to soar with some gentle reharmonizations to freshen it. The lower instrument has a walking bass line accompaniment initially, then takes over the melody while the upper instrument has a running flourish. Both parts dramatically cover a full range of 2 1/2 octaves. Unlike many arrangements of this piece which go for bombast, I keep it gentle and quiet with the interest being in the subtle expressive interplay of the two parts. A guaranteed crowd pleaser at any performance.
(Written for my son's Graduation Banquet, proudly performed as a Father-Son duet.)

SKU: A0.803336

By Margery McKay. By Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Paul Taylor. Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Paul Taylor #5759653. Published by Paul Taylor (A0.803336).

Climb Every Mountain was first heard in 1965's hit musical entitled The Sound of Music. The recording is performed by 78-years-young Batya Bloomberg, a retired grocery clerk and online piano student of mine residing in Skokie, Illinois. This selection depicts the rewards of perseverance and hope in  the Von Trapp's family daring escape from Nazi-occupied Austria during the second world war.  Its message is still universally relevant for those of us living through the current pandemic. This arrangement for solo piano includes the text, chord symbols and some interpretive markings. .
