Katherine Hilgenberg did not sing the song in the movie, however she did play the Mother Abbess and sang Climb Every Mountain in the 3rd National Tour of The Sound of Music in 1963. She was my mother, and I (and my 2 brothers) had the pleasure of spending time with her during the summer on tour.
Peggy Wood was 73 when she played the role of Mother Superior in The Sound of Music. She was born in 1892 and died in 1978 at age 86. She did not sing "Climb Every Mountain" in The Sound of Music -- she was dubbed by singer Margery McKay.
At the beginning, the nuns think of Maria as a nuisance. They sing a song called "Maria" in which they complain about different things she does, including climbing a tree, ripping her dress, wearing curlers under her habit, singing when she shouldn't be, and being late to everything. They believe she is a nice girl, but that she isn't made out to be a nun. However, they do help her later on by housing her when she runs away, allowing her to get married at the abbey, and hiding her family from the Nazis.
"Climb Ev'ry Mountain" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. Here 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 towards attaining one's dreams. See related links for more information. The music was written by Richard Rodgers. the lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein II. See related links for more information.
