Ashokan Farewell - Violin Solo

Ashokan is a town in the USA, 100 miles north of New York City. The Ashokan Farewell was written in the style of a Scottish fantasy, in 1982 by Jay Ungar. It became famous when filmmaker Ken Burns used it in a documentary film two years later 'The Civil War'. For more info on the composer, see:

I've just been asked to play it with a local concert band, so thought I'd record it whilst practising and see what people thought. Comments welcomed (nice ones especially..).

Really lovely (honest; I'm a violinist myself and a really critical listener). Your instrument sounds great to me; any deficiencies in the sound sound like they're related to the camera, not your violin. Have fun performing.

I have to say it sends a chill down my spine (in a good way). When I listen to beautiful music, I consider it a surge of inspiration and there's a great feeling of pride in the person's ability to produce this kind of sound. Very amazing indeed. Bone chilling would not be the best term. That would be more for a horror movie.
