Lombardo Music Publications presents 'Ashokan Farewell' by composer Jay Ungar, arranged here for expandable flute choir by Ricky Lombardo.

Ungar writes about this piece, "Ashokan Farewell" was named for Ashokan, a camp in the Catskill Mountains not far from Woodstock, New York. Ashokan is the name of a town, most of which is now under a very beautiful and magical body of water called the Ashokan Reservoir, which provides drinking water for New York City one hundred miles to the south.

I composed 'Ashokan Farewell' in 1982 shortly after our Fiddle & Dance Camps had come to an end for the season. I was feeling a great sense of loss and longing for the music, the dancing, and the community of people that had developed at Ashokan that summer. By the time the tune took form, I was in tears. I sometimes introduce it as a 'Scottish lament written by a Jewish guy from the Bronx.'
