Ashokan Farewell

My string trio playing 'Ashokan Farewell,' a new American tune.
If you know anything about Ken Burns, then you know this song.

A nice tune, very nicely played! I've always found it interesting how Ashokan Farewell came on to the scene relatively recently (1982, I think) and was written by a known, living musician, but has largely entered the same pool of traditional songs with tunes going back 150+ years.

Really beautiful. We don't have enough string trios here at MeMu.

This is fantastic. Was this also recorded at your home?
