Gruss an's Ober-Innthal by Carl Fittig — Lyrics
Ich kenn’ ein Thal, so wunderschön,
mit steller Berge Riesenhöh’n,
wo Lieb‘ und Treu‘ in schlichter Brust
das Herz erfüllt mit Sangeslust,
der Bua im Tanz sein Diandel schwingt,
die Senn’rin frohe Jodler singt.
Dich grüss ich Thal vieltausend mal!
Dich preis‘ ich Thal, so wunderschön,
mit grünen Matten, sanften Höh’n,
wo Waldeszauder, Blumenduft
den Geist erfrischt und klar die Luft,
wo’s Alphorn von den Bergen schallt,
in fernen Thälern still verhallt.
Dich grüss ich Thal vieltausend mal!

About Gruss an's Ober-Innthal
This German Lied, Gruss an's Ober-Innthal, is a celebration of a beautiful mountain valley. Carl Fittig sets this evocative text for SATB choir. The music reflects the joyful and affectionate sentiments of the lyrics, which speak of love and loyalty, dancing, and the sound of yodelling and alphorns echoing through the mountains. The composer captures the fresh air, natural beauty, and spirited atmosphere of the Alpine landscape. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies and contrasts, portraying both the grandeur of the scenery and the simple pleasures of life within the valley. It is a song that evokes a strong sense of place and communal spirit.
