My niece played this piece at my husbands funeral. Since then, when I here of someone's passing, I also hear his song playing in my heart. It says everything words cannot express when having to say goodbye. Rest in peace Josh, I love you to the moon and stars and back again. Always.
We played this at my Mum's funeral as we left the chapel it is mournful powerful & beautiful. I will always remeber shaking hands with everyone with this gentle music lending itself to our tears & love. Love you mumxx
This was the piece of music played at my 13 year old cousin's funeral by one of her friends on the violin, and it has stayed in my heart since then. It is beautiful and will remind me forever of my beautiful cousin who was like my little sister, thank you for uploading this, it is a lovely version of it :)
@scavenger51...I actually knew that and that's why I said..in my first message...that "no-one who ever fought that great conflict ever heard this tune".
What I meant to say (originally) was that AF is THE most evocatibe song in the Civil War TV series ...meanign the one produced by Ken Burns)
This is what happens when your brain works faster than your fingers !!!!

A very touching and moving song. In remembering all of life's trials and tribulations, this song can pull at the very strings of your heart.

Ashokan Farewell is THE most evocative song of the Civil War...and, yet, .no-one whoever fought in that great conflict ever heard this tune,...

But it wasn't written in the civil war. It was just used for the CW series on PBS.
According to Wikpedia, it was written in 1982.
