(Germ. Kuhreigen.) The name of the simple and beautiful melody which the Swi herdsmen are in the habit of playing on the Alpine horn, and sometimes of singing, when they drive out their herds to the mountains. It consists of a few simple intervals, and has a beautiful effect in the echoes of the Swi mountains. The natives regard it almost with rapture, and are said to be seized with irrepre ible longings to return to their native country when they hear it played in a foreign land. [s. 1036]
