The Seekers are from my hometown of Melbourne, Australia.

"Climb Every Mountain" was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for "The Sound Of Music". It's been covered by many artists. This particular version from 1971 always mesmerises me.

The arrangement uses elements of pop sounds from the 1960s and mashes it together with a pop-jazz feel in 3/4 time (although I hear it with a 6/8 lilt). If my recall is correct, the song is written in 4/4. As I see it, this version is clever arranging.

Maybe it's just me, but I find Judith Durham a very engaging singer.



This song somehow seems to fit the crazy times we're presently travelling.

Hope you enjoy it,
Noel
