About this item
In this day, when rock and rap reign supreme, the world takes notice when a beautiful ballad comes along. This gorgeous melody gained exposure and fame as part of the soundtrack to the television mini-series "The Civil War" and it's popularity has continued. In the hands of the talented arranger Bob Cerulli, Ashokan Farewell fits the orchestra genre perfectly, whether string orchestra or full orchestra with the optional winds and percussion parts. This will be a most effective concert work.

Composer
Jay Ungar (1946-)
Jay Ungar (born November 14, 1946) is an American folk musician and composer.
Ungar was born in the Bronx (New York City), the son of immigrant Jewish parents from Eastern Europe.[2] He frequented Greenwich Village music venues during his formative period in the 1960s. In the late 1960s, he became a member of Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys and, later, the Putnam String County Band. Although he has often played with David Bromberg, he is probably best known for "Ashokan Farewell" (1982), originally composed as a lament,[3] which was used as the theme tune to the Ken Burns documentary, The Civil War (1990). Many of his other compositions are familiar to contra dancers, notably "The Wizards' Walk."
