Reviews
Displaying the top 10 out of 14 reviews for "Ashokan Farewell"Ashokan Farewell is one of those songs that seems to sound best when played on a nylon string classical guitar or an unamplifed fiddle. This haunting, melancholy song has the same "aura" that I find when I play Don McLeans "Starry, Starry Night" on my solo guitar. This simple melody...when played with very SLOW, un-metered passion, can bring tears to the listeners eyes. I suggest that you consider playing this wonderful ballad outdoors on a moonlit night, when the mood is right or when the audience is attentive and silent. Its a remarkably,uniquely memorable piece that is destined to become a classic. Though people recognize this song because they have heard it before, they ALWAYS ask the name of it...because few people know this songs title. Amazing, isnt it?

Very first song I bought off of Musicnotes...and it got me hooked. Such a great rendition of this song, (which is already a great song), easy to play while sounding somewhat like its difficult (from what some listeners have told me). YOU SHOULD GET THIS SONG.

Easy, sightreadable arrangement. Great for use by violin/cello duet as well

My family has the Civil War Soundtrack and I grew up listening to it. I love playing it for myself now.

This is a lovely, straightforward arrangement of this beautiful tune.
Suzanne_Shepherd
I love this song. The arrangement is pretty straightforward. It took some work for me to get the fingering down on the moving bass line. Even playing slowly, it sounds great. I had tried a piano reduction of a score before, which was difficult, but this is very satisfying.

It has been several years since I purchased it, but have used it many times. I had not seen the TV series, so was glad to get the very nice song.
