This is a song called Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar. I play the violin here while my friend Eddie Nicholson is playing the viola (for a second violin part). Recorded March 2008.

  • That was beautiful. Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the sheet music for this duet?

  • Very, very nice. Thank you for sharing. Where did you play this? I use to reserve a racquetball court to play my flute in. The acoustics reminded me of it. Again, thank you!

  • @nccfiddlar Wow, what a thoroughly racist comment. Anyways, good job on your interpretation, gents!

  • Pretty. I prefer it a bit faster and more lilting, with uneven eighths. Kinda slow and even for me. Hammer ons and pull offs make it cool too.

  • playing violin myself... i must say,wow, though this is a good interp of tenor versus soprano work, it needs help to find its true decree...possibly a native of this country perhaps. that know the song, not just hears the song...for both...the violin and the viola,this is about american civil war hardship, but asians know little about it howev-it needs some soul and he presenter has a poor representation of it,but in the long look...decent-concert profeniency, but not distinguished originality

  • @will2Collett In the description he states the viola plays the second violin part. It is probably the exact same notes as the 2nd violin, it just sounds different as it is a viola.

  • Bravo...Bravo...Very Nice...Playedas it should be ,slow,tearful with regrets..Most that post this song play it like the Ashokan Get Gone Quick...instead of a Fairwell,Please Stay,Wait!..Don't go...Agin Great job Thank You...

  • sorry but if u added a white in ther id think we were making a world treaty :)

  • Where can I get the viola part? Viola tends to give that human voice to things, This was very beautiful. Thanks Rukfa and Eddie.

  • Your violin sound is so touching, appealing......very much. Thank you.

  • Love your vibrato!!

  • I have this song =D I can't play it yet ='D
