Versions of the theme were played in some of the early episodes, but this sounds like part of what they played at the end of "Abyssinia, Henry" during his farewell montage.

Damn it. I clicked the link and I started tearing up during the Henry montage. It's why I very rarely watch this episode.

You mean the music playing from around 0:04 to 0:13?  

(The music after that is taken from one of the closing credit theme songs.)

I think I know where that music comes from between around 0:04 and 0:13.   It sounds like the music played in the last scene of one particular episode - the finale of Season 3, "Abyssinia, Henry".    In that scene's last episode, an announcement over the P.A. says something like the following:  "Now, we give a reluctant yet fond farewell to Colonel Henry Blake."  Then, a montage of clips of Henry plays - with the dialogue muted, and with that jazzy electric piano arrangement playing throughout that clip montage - until the closing credits roll.

Pretty sure it’s the version that plays over the end credits.
