I tried to find a score and got this from Wiki, "the Piu andante section, the horns and timpani introduce a tune that Brahms heard from an Alpine shepherd with the words, "High on the hill, deep in the dale, I send you a thousand greetings!"
I'll listen to it again today, which must be close to the day of the 50th anniversary of me standing in the space between the two rehearsal halls at Interlochen with a gang of other players during the morning break. We're listening to the principal Tuba tell us about the brand-new German Horn he's toting and the news of his acceptance to Julliard in the fall.
I'm schlepping around a silver-plated Bach 50B double trigger that belongs to the Camp as I'm the third or fourth ranked player of the lesser, second orchestra and lead the third (bass) trombones.
The first chair, first orchestra trombone comes up to me and asks if I'm familiar with the bass part of this phrase in the 1st Symphony and I say no. He hums, then plays the bass part for me and invites me to play along with him and the second chair which we do. Several times. Everybody, which means about 100 teen-age musicians stops talking and listens.
I'll never forget the moment of being 15 years old, "playing with the big kids", and the glorious music on a Summer morning. Thank you Mr. Brahms.
