Ungar, J :: Ashokan Farewell
Publisher: Lombardo Music
Editor: Lombardo, Ricky (arr)
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.'
