Ashokan Farewell?

Ashokan Farewell was written in 1982 by Jay Ungar. A great tune, but not exactly Civil War era. It's a nice album though.

Very nice arrangement! Ashokan Farewell is not a Civil War era song--it was written in 1983 by Mr. Unger.
Well worth it!

This is a wonderful, moving album of Civil War songs. It pays tribute to the brave men who fought on both sides during one of the most challenging times in American history. The best songs, by far, are Battle Hymn of the Republic and When Johnny Comes Marching Home by the United States Military Academy Band, which is my absolute favorite song. The words are on the version by Ronnie Gilbert. The Ashokan Farewell is also beautiful and very well done.

Excellent. Much of this music was on a followup program to Burns' "Civil War" and I had the video. I miss the commentary but still enjoy the music. The PBS program had among others Richie Havens quoting Frederick Douglas about the black union soldier, and the narration also told Julia Ward Howe waking up to sound of the bands playing "John Brown's Body" inspiring the words to the "Battle Hymn" made this music even more meaningful. While the naration is not here, I am pleased to have it again.
