"Sarah, do not mourn me dear; think I am gone, and wait for me, for we shall meet again." - Taken from Major Sullivan Ballou's last letter to his wife, written a week before he fell at First Bull Run, July 1861.

@thomast8539 : Interesting fact about that famous Sullivan Ballou letter to his wife Sarah . After his wife received the letter following Sullivan's death during the first Civil War battle of Bull Run she kept the letter for the rest of her life. Following her own death many years later Sarah left instructions to her family that her late husband's civil war letter be buried with her.

Jay and Molly, I never tire of listening to this. Each and every time it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for this beautiful and solemn melody.

Agreed 100 per cent. I have just played this with this clip of Jay and Molly on RU-vid after a 'tough day at the office' and boy if I didn't just feel all the tension I felt just melt away. Simply put, this is a wonderful, sublime piece of music - and I ❤ it... Thank you Jay for writing The Ashokan Farewell and giving it to the world.

I fell in love with what I considered an original period ballad with Ken Burns' doc. Hats off to the truthful art work in our time. The letters were the inspiration.

@herondelatorre4023 6 месяцев назад

This song will forever be remembered as the theme song to Ken Burn's PBS Documentary The Civil War.

When I heard that there will be a series about our American Civil War, I was not to interested in it. I decided to watch just a few minutes of it just to see if its worth watching. When they played the First Battle of Bull Run and read the Sullivan Ballou letter and played this song I was hooked. I did not realized that Ashokan Farewell was written in 1982!! Now every time I watch the Ken Burns Civil War, I have to watch it from beginning to end and enjoy Ashokan Farwell tune.

If ever a song took me back in time, this was it. Stumbling on this by the guy who wrote this timeless classic and being accompanied by Molly Mason is pure gold.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. My Great Great Grandfather lost his life in the Civil War on December 31, 1962 at the Battle of Stones River. I think about how he must have felt at that time when I hear this song.

Wow... they are both looking a bit older now!!!, but that's OK... They have both aged gracefully & with love for each other... Yes!, Jay Ungar here wrote that piece, in memory of leaving their 'Ashokan' (country location) music gathering one year.

Combined with the Sullivan Ballou letter even Aussies can she'd a tear.

@Gunners_Mate_Guns 8 месяцев назад

The Ballou letter is simply incredible for its poetry. It's as good as anything that Edgar Allan Poe wrote (see "Annabelle Lee"), and unlike Poe's most famous love poem, it has the added poignancy of having been written for Ballou's wife the week before he was killed at the first Battle of Bull Run.

Beautiful song, just had it played at the end of my mom's funeral service. Reminds me so much of my Dad and Pa-pa's style. They have both passed as well. Hope the tune is etched in my children and grandchildren's memories. Thank-you Mr Ungar and Ms Mason for being a part of a most memorable time in all of our lives. In loving memory of Maxine. ♥️

Heard many people play this but this is by far the best. Molly is flawless. Not 1 squeak on the strings as she moves from note to the next as you hear from many guitar players. Jay is the master of this version .

my wife and i love this song and especially lovers waltz. she played the violin and i the guitar. but i could not keep good count. we both started playing when we were about 63. my wife played lovers waltz at her recital and i recorded it. she passed away in 2021 from pan cancer. i will always miss having het near but her love is in my heart forever. it is hard to play the lovers waltz recording but it brings back wonderful memories. thank you both so much.
