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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI composed 'Ashokan Farewell' in 1982 shortly after our Fiddle \u0026amp; 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.' \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lombardo Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46964815266086,"sku":"FCE019","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/files\/FCE019.jpg?v=1735240233","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/ungar-j-ashokan-farewell","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
