Chimes of Bavaria

This wind chime is tuned to the joyful tones of the alphorn melody from Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 1 finale in C minor. The German-born Brahms spent 15 years writing this piece, which he completed in 1876. Bavaria lies at the heart of Europe, a land of rolling hills, pine forests, charming alpine villages, and sparkling lakes. Here, the Germans brew a rich, creamy-tasting beer called Weizenbier, or wheat beer. Per the German Purity Law of 1516, it uses only water, malt, hops, and yeast for the finest quality and flavor. We adhere to a similar philosophy and tune our Woodstock Chimes using pure musical intervals for the most beautiful sound. Reflecting the fields of Bavaria, this wind chime features a wheat image burned into the wood of the wind catcher.
