Ashokan Farewell
Kevin Mayhew presents composer Jay Ungar's Ashokan Farewell for flute and piano. The composer says of the piece, 'Ashokan is the name of a camp in New York's Catskill Mountains where my wife, Molly, and I run music and dance programmes for adults each summer. The name is said to be a local American Indian word meaning a place to fish. In 1982, shortly after camp had closed for the season, I was feeling melancholy. I missed the music and dancing and especially the people and the special way of life that had evolved at camp. Picking up my fiddle, I began to compose a lament. By the time the piece had come together, I was in tears. It went unnamed until Molly suggested, 'Ashokan Farewell'.
