I played this song for my Aunt as she was passing away. As soon as the song ended, she looked up then looked at me and passed away. I have always loved this song and played it for her as her last song. As soon as it comes on tears come to my eyes. RIP Auntie. I love you.
in these days after loosing my father to a massive stroke I'm am reminded of the solitude that death leaves for all of us. This sweet haunting theme speaks to all of us who have known the loss that death brings.
I never can hear this beautiful song without thinking of my old high school friend Johnny, who was killed in VietNam so long ago. This song was played live on violins as we walked into the little country church for his funeral. A beautiful, sad song. RIP Johnny.
Yes, his funeral was in 2001. His helicopter was shot down over S. VietNam in a very hostile, inaccessible area, he was MIA for decades; his remains were finally brought home for burial almost 40 years later.
Because I'm a Vietnam veteran I keep tabs on returned remains and I can't find any reports of returned remains that fit the circumstances you "describe". I'm pretty sure you're just blowin' smoke. Of course, if it ain't a bucket of goose squirt you won't mind sharing "Johnny'" last name so your story can be verified.
Having grown up in the central Catskill Mountains, only a few miles away from the Ashokan Resevoir and surrounding area, this song has always had a special place in my heart. This is a wonderful version of a haunting tune; many, many thanks for sharing this.
Such a Beautiful piece of historical music, played, so wonderfully by this totally gorgeous Irish lady. playing with such feeling. I am so happy that I can see and hear this wonderful performance. Thank you so much for posting. Brain. Nz.
Not really historic...written by Jay Ungar...I forget exactly when, but in the last 30 yrs or so. It was just used for the Civil War special. It doesnt date from then. Jay wrote it at the end of one of his fiddle camp sessions. He was feeling melancholy that it was ending & this is the tune that came out.
There's a gorgeous arrangement of this song on the soundtrack CD for Ken Burn's PBS documentary, "Civil War". The last track also features this song as background music while the narrator reads a letter written by a soldier about to march into battle. The beauty of the music and the quiet strength of the soldier's words are absolutely breathtaking when you hear them together. The whole album is a treasure.
The piece is a waltz in D major, composed by Jay Ungar in the style of a Scottish lament (e.g., Niel Gow's "Lament for his second wife"). The most famous arrangement of the piece begins with a solo violin, later accompanied by guitar and upright bass. Before its use as the television series theme, "Ashokan Farewell" was recorded on Waltz of the Wind, the second album by the band Fiddle Fever. The original composition didn't have double stops and slides...
Oh dear, I also read the letter from Sulliavan Ballou, oh I'm crying my eyes out... The ashoken farewell and that letter is a bad combination.. makes you cry...
My brother, a career soldier passed away this past spring. We spread his ashes at Ft. Hood to a friend playing this piece. It was his favorite and a fitting farewell to an old soldier.
Whoever can say that Mairead''s version of anything 'sucks' is an incredibly untalented arrogant musician total devoid of class, taste or appreciation of her extraordinary talent. I'd love for everyone to be able to critique them performing this piece.
Good job mairead nesbitt keep up the work best wishes to everyone at celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate your style you should be proud way to go ! Joe
i'm speechless. every time i play this song, i get lost in it. but hearing her play that amazing song almost put a tear in my eye. thank you so much for sharing that. it's pure beauty. all i can say is thank you.
Spent the last 3 days trying to learn this by ear... Mairead is definitely not bow'syncing. While I am only about 50% note by note, the fingering and bowing are consistent with the audio on this video (as I would also play it). She's definitely live, performing and awesome!
you've got to love the way she makes playing the violin seem so easy. her fast paced solos have to be my favorite because, whether you listen to them or you watch her flying around the stage, they get your heart racing. she's incredibly talented and i love how she feels the music she plays, along with her enjoyment so clear on her face.
I have the sheet music to this song and I play it all the time, it's so pretty, of course Mairead can paly it much better than I can. It's so pretty. Her voilin is gourgous to.
I remember my dad playing this on his guitar when I was a kid every time we stayed at his aunt's cabin in the Appalachian Mountains in east Tennessee. It always made me feel safe, peaceful, and connected to the mountains. I know it's not a traditional Celtic or even folk/mountain song, but it sure has enough heart and soul to be one.
The music just flows right through her, it's as if she can reach out touch the very soul. I never cease to be amazed at this talent. Mairead is a part of the very music she plays, and the rest of Celtic Woman have such fantastic talent i can only say I am overjoyed to have lived to see and listen to this.
"Ashokan Farewell" has had many interpretations and I like almost all of them. This one is noteworthy in its restraint. Interesting. . . ~ S ~ and thank you for posting.
I love this song. It is beautifully done by Mairead. Amazing. Trully amazing. Go CELTIC WOMAN!!! Plus she REALLY connects with her eyes and I love how into her songs sher gets!
Her movement is definitely honest. She mentions the "sheer joy of playing" in interviews, and you can see it's true in her smile, especially a few memorable smiles from Granuaile's Dance.
A great performance from a beautiful and talented lady who has the music almost radiate out through her like the light from a dancing candle flame. Unlike some wooden performers, she shows the dynamic and emotional side of performance.
I live in TX and we all mimicked Benny Thomason and Byron Berline where you mainly use only thumb and 1st two fingers way back to make wrist faster. I love her playing. All these gals are wonderful.
Too many people(according to my youtube searches) use a high level of skill to put the feeling into this tune. This one and the Jay Ungar allow the feeling to come out on it's own. Brilliant.
Like most people in the US the first time I heard this piece was when watching Ken Burn's Civile War on PBS. I was later surprised to find it had actually been composed in the 1980s. The only piece of music used that was not period to the show. It still pulls on my the Irish side of my family tree.
Haven't you people seen her before?? She can also dance whilst playing it. She's amazing and can play all the classics. Gotta love the amateurs trying to tell professionals how its done.
I am a classical violist, American by birth, with an Irish-descent grandfather (Co.Galway). Part of the family fought for the North and part for the Confederacy in the American Civil War - which this song honors and laments. I will play Ashokan Farewell at a reunion in Lincoln, Nebraska in May, and just hope I do it half as well as Mairead Nesbitt, although I won't look as good - alas - since I am now 67 years old. But still 'scraping catgut', as we say!
I’m only 4th generation in this country from Belfast Northern Ireland My great grand pa ps and his two brothers were Confederate Cavalry officers, all wounded but survived and lived long lives in Arkansas and Texas.
She plays this beautifully and deserves my 5 star rating. However my all time favorite version will always be by the composer, Jay Unger and his wife, Molly Mason.
Will you please make up your mind::: From your Icons, I get: Applause, Thumbs up, I'm Praying (for you?), I'm a Christian, _[OK to this point]_ Please be my valentine, I'm in Love (3x), I follow the Druidic religion, _[Hang on, isn't that a bit inconsistent?]_ I'm in love, I'm a Jew (2x) _[now you're just doing this to confuse me]_ And It's The 4th of July ❗❓❗❕❔❕
A little slower than I'm used to, and the instrumentation was odd for someone who's listened to Jay Ungar's version so much, but I only have one other thing to say: THIS SONG, NO MATTER THE INSTRUMENTATION OR ARRANGEMENT, WILL NEVER FAIL TO MOVE ME.
Most folk think of this as a civil war piece it is true. And Jay Ungar was a huge influence on the piece as well. But the best and oldest tunes have celtic origins. Songs like this are like the oldest legends. They span countless generations and they change. The Ashokan Farewell is known all over the world for many different reasons. I have heard three sets of lyrics to the tune. Songs like this never die.
mairead nesbitt se me figura como una hermosa ada tocando el violin en una noche tranquila . en verdad es sorprendente que se puedan reunir tanta belleza y talento en una sola mujer
One of the few Mairead solos that has the same tempo all the way through. Usually, when she plays a slow song, she will follow it with something that lets her lets her switch from violin-mode to *kick-ass fiddle* and engage the Warp drive. Slow or fast, moving in place or all over the stage (look up "The Foxhunter"), I still gan't get enough.
It really makes me angry when people say that she moves too much first shes amazing second ive been playing the violin and cello for ten years and ever since i stared playing i have moved because i connect with the music that im playing and feel it in my body and second shes a preformer the celtic ladies dance and sing
I play this regularly for a slow waltz, "Waltz Marie", and dancers request it often. I have also played it by request, at a number of funerals, and I am booked to play it for a few folk when their time comes. Such a beautiful tune by Jay Unger, which brings tears to many people.
Jay wrote it in 1980. It is a lament in 3/4 waltz time. It was a melancholy time for him after the Ashokan Center, where he, and later he and Molly, held their annual music seminars, closed after each summer sesson. He composed Ashokan Farewell to show the sadness he felt. Years later, Ken Burns discovered the song, and asked Jay if he could use it in the Civil War series he was going to produce. But the origin of this song could not be further from any association with any war. Just a gentle man and a teacher writing from his heart. 😌💖
I have seen her dance and play at the same time she is most of the time high energy I think her nick name is the floating butterfly she is a beauty and a very talented performer lol.
The piece is a waltz in D major, composed by Jay Ungar in the style of a Scottish lament (e.g., Niel Gow's "Lament for his second wife"). The most famous arrangement of the piece begins with a solo violin, later accompanied by guitar and upright bass.
What I like about this (aside from the fine performance) is that it's often us Irish-Americans looking back to Ireland and it's native music to give us nostalgia, hope and inspiration, etc. In this case the tables have turned. A very American folk song, composed by a man from New York, being performed at a Celtic festival, because it truly connects hearts and minds. Wonderful.
Great interpretation of a classic American piece. It is definitely different from the original, but is a bit slower and deeper, making it still a remarkable performance.
The Civil War. Such a dark, dark time in United States history. Such timeless and beautiful music came out of it or is related to it though. Goes straight to your heart.
This young lady puts a lot of feeling into all her music & this is no exception; however, I have yet to hear a more expressive or heartfelt rendition of this song than that of the girl who plays under the name, "Doc & the Lady."
I played this song for my Aunt as she was passing away. As soon as the song ended, she looked up then looked at me and passed away. I have always loved this song and played it for her as her last song. As soon as it comes on tears come to my eyes. RIP Auntie. I love you.
😭
Beautiful...I envy her, the last sounds she hears so peaceful...
❤
Your comment was beautiful. What a precious gift you gave your sweet Aunt.
This was also my experience. I believe that I was around 13 years old.
Beautiful! Just beautiful! The music and Violinist. How can 44 people dislike such a beautiful rendition of this beautiful song.
in these days after loosing my father to a massive stroke I'm am reminded of the solitude that death leaves for all of us. This sweet haunting theme speaks to all of us who have known the loss that death brings.
I never can hear this beautiful song without thinking of my old high school friend Johnny, who was killed in VietNam so long ago. This song was played live on violins as we walked into the little country church for his funeral. A beautiful, sad song. RIP Johnny.
This song was written in 1989.

Wow really that's an insult. His name is Lance Corporal John Nahan if you really want to look it up.
Why on earth do you think I would waste time making something like that up???
Having grown up in the central Catskill Mountains, only a few miles away from the Ashokan Resevoir and surrounding area, this song has always had a special place in my heart. This is a wonderful version of a haunting tune; many, many thanks for sharing this.
Nesbitt is the greatest violinist and the most beautiful women i ever seen....shes like a angel who has come down stright from heaven..
I feel this music touches ones Soul, like no other
Such a Beautiful piece of historical music, played, so wonderfully by this totally gorgeous Irish lady. playing with such feeling. I am so happy that I can see and hear this wonderful performance. Thank you so much for posting. Brain. Nz.

the way she moves and plays with her heart is just breath takin
WOW----if that look from those beautiful eyes at :35 secs. doesn't melt your soul, then you don't have one !!!!

That's the one with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. Agree, such a great arrangement.
So beautiful.... I just lost my grandmother, and my uncle gave me the lyrics to this... Beautiful song...
we played this at the Butler String Festival. It was amazing. It was 189 people on stage from 10 different schools. i cried.

This woman is beautiful and her talent astounding. Shame and a curse of bad luck be upon those who dislike this video
Jay Ungers version is infinitely superior to this. She's....fine, nothing special.
Oh dear, I also read the letter from Sulliavan Ballou, oh I'm crying my eyes out... The ashoken farewell and that letter is a bad combination.. makes you cry...
I agree with you on it. Makes me cry also.
My brother, a career soldier passed away this past spring. We spread his ashes at Ft. Hood to a friend playing this piece. It was his favorite and a fitting farewell to an old soldier.
Perfect! Does not matter to me what anyone else says or thinks, for me this is a beautiful piece of music.
In Tennessee, on the Bluegrass radio stations, we hear people playing this all the time. Hooray for Scotch-Irish heritage!
Whoever can say that Mairead''s version of anything 'sucks' is an incredibly untalented arrogant musician total devoid of class, taste or appreciation of her extraordinary talent. I'd love for everyone to be able to critique them performing this piece.
Lenard Poon i agree 100%. people with no talent have to.put other people d
own to make them selfs feel bigger. sad.
Good job mairead nesbitt keep up the work best wishes to everyone at celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate your style you should be proud way to go ! Joe
i'm speechless. every time i play this song, i get lost in it. but hearing her play that amazing song almost put a tear in my eye. thank you so much for sharing that. it's pure beauty. all i can say is thank you.

My two favorite performances of this beautiful song... Máiréad's, and Jay Unger and Molly Mason Family Band's. Both heartbreakingly beautiful.
you've got to love the way she makes playing the violin seem so easy. her fast paced solos have to be my favorite because, whether you listen to them or you watch her flying around the stage, they get your heart racing. she's incredibly talented and i love how she feels the music she plays, along with her enjoyment so clear on her face.

He plays her violin so wonderful, everytime i hear her play a song i get cold shivers running down my back and almost tears in my eyes3
a breath taking peace that leads me to tears. my absolute favorite. what must the angels in heaven sound like?
This was named after the Ashokan Center in the Mid Hudson Valley of New York State.
She moves like the waves and plays like a Angel a Beautiful woman as well
The music just flows right through her, it's as if she can reach out touch the very soul. I never cease to be amazed at this talent. Mairead is a part of the very music she plays, and the rest of Celtic Woman have such fantastic talent i can only say I am overjoyed to have lived to see and listen to this.

So, So, So, beautiful to listening to and I love it
Just beautiful. I love all Celtic women's songs :).
Obviously the 56 who disliked this video can do it much better, OR they are deaf and blind...bless her for her beauty and her skill.
A great rendition of a piece i love dearly
this is such a lovely haunting melody. pulls at your heart strings.
I love this song. It is beautifully done by Mairead. Amazing. Trully amazing. Go CELTIC WOMAN!!! Plus she REALLY connects with her eyes and I love how into her songs sher gets!

Played beautifully!!
Beautiful rendition.. well done.. captured the emotion brilliantly
Beautiful. I have heard this song performed live by Jay Ungar its writer and she is as good as he is.
I live in TX and we all mimicked Benny Thomason and Byron Berline where you mainly use only thumb and 1st two fingers way back to make wrist faster. I love her playing. All these gals are wonderful.
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful and so moving. Thank you.

So beautiful the song and her
She plays this beautifully and deserves my 5 star rating. However my all time favorite version will always be by the composer, Jay Unger and his wife, Molly Mason.
She has always been fantastic & once again touched my heart. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!👏👍🛐✝️🌹❤️💕💓🌄💗🇺🇸🕎🔯🎆
Will you please make up your mind:::
From your Icons, I get:
Applause, Thumbs up, I'm Praying (for you?), I'm a Christian, _[OK to this point]_
Please be my valentine, I'm in Love (3x), I follow the Druidic religion, _[Hang on, isn't that a bit inconsistent?]_

I love this version . Very different from those of The Royal Marines and she is gorgeous too

One of my absolutely most favorite musical works! Beautiful!
This melody is one of the most beautiful and moving I have ever heard.
It really makes me angry when people say that she moves too much first shes amazing second ive been playing the violin and cello for ten years and ever since i stared playing i have moved because i connect with the music that im playing and feel it in my body and second shes a preformer the celtic ladies dance and sing
thats what made her so special seeing her dance and have fun playing is just a blast!! always gets a great reaction from the crowd too!!
I play this regularly for a slow waltz, "Waltz Marie", and dancers request it often.
I have also played it by request, at a number of funerals, and I am booked to play
it for a few folk when their time comes. Such a beautiful tune by Jay Unger, which
brings tears to many people.
This woman is my Val Halla....great presentation
I was playing this song while reading Sullivan Ballou's letter, and to be honest with you i started getting choked up.
Absolutely beautiful just as my music teacher told me it was. For those of you complaining, get a life already. She is very talented for sure.
I always think of Ken Burns' "The Civil War" when I hear this.
That's because it was written for that documentary ;)
it was written well before the ken burns civil war doc. that is from the early 90's the song was written in the early 80's.
The piece was written by Jay Unger and Molly Mason after they spent time at Ashokan Music and Dance Camps. ashokan.org/. Well before the documentary.
Jay wrote it in 1980. It is a lament in 3/4 waltz time. It was a melancholy time for him after the Ashokan Center, where he, and later he and Molly, held their annual music seminars, closed after each summer sesson.

But the origin of this song could not be further from any association with any war. Just a gentle man and a teacher writing from his heart. 😌💖
Beautiful played as background music for the letter from Civil War Soldier Sullivan Ballou to his wife called Dear Sara .
So beautiful. This lady is incredible
Beautiful..One of the most moving songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.She is very talented..
Pause it at 0:35 and just look at those eyes, the beauty of the music is only surpassed by the beauty of her.
I have seen her dance and play at the same time she is most of the time high energy I think her nick name is the floating butterfly she is a beauty and a very talented performer lol.
Beautifully played
Where do they find so many incredibly attractive and exquisitely talented girls.
Ireland must be heaven on earth.
you play like an angel , don't ever stop.
This is the background music Ken Burns used for his Civil War DVD set.
She moves me to tears...
awesome! i just randomly clicked on this playlist. but i couldnt stop as i want to listen and watch more!
A beautiful lady playing a beautiful tune.
I played this piece in highschool! Not nearly as well as Mairead mind you. But it's nice to hear her play something I can play too lol. Lovely.
Beautiful lady. beautiful tune beautiful playing. So happy. thank you so much for posting. Brian NZ
I absolutely love this musician! Truly Inspiring!
The piece is a waltz in D major, composed by Jay Ungar in the style of a Scottish lament (e.g., Niel Gow's "Lament for his second wife"). The most famous arrangement of the piece begins with a solo violin, later accompanied by guitar and upright bass.

A very American folk song, composed by a man from New York, being performed at a Celtic festival, because it truly connects hearts and minds. Wonderful.
She really gets into her music. I can see that. Beautiful!
Amen flippysnotze! Preach on brother! (Or sister!) She looks fan-frickin'-tastic and plays well too!
I love how she nods at the end where you can tell she is listening to make sure the pitch is right. :-)
Great interpretation of a classic American piece. It is definitely different from the original, but is a bit slower and deeper, making it still a remarkable performance.
As a kid I was haunted by this song while watching Ken Burns Civil War documentary. It's one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music ever.
gorgeous! can't get enought of it!
it is a wonderful piece, we played it in Jr. Semba
The Civil War. Such a dark, dark time in United States history.
Such timeless and beautiful music came out of it or is related to it though. Goes straight to your heart.
A beautiful woman playing a beautiful tune while she looks in your eyes , wow man what more can you ask ? Well maybe if you were a lucky man LOL !
This young lady puts a lot of feeling into all her music & this is no exception; however, I have yet to hear a more expressive or heartfelt rendition of this song than that of the girl who plays under the name, "Doc & the Lady."
StevieB1362 I echo that. That rendition brings me to tears every time
Amazing Fiddle, she wins in life!
