"Ashokan Farewell" was composed by Jay Ungar in 1982, and later used as the title theme of Ken Burns' 1990 PBS television documentary miniseries "The Civil War". Ashokan was a Catskill region village in New York state that is now mostly covered by the Ashokan Reservoir. Jay Ungar composed it as tribute to the conclusion of his Fiddle & Dance Camp held in Ashokan in 1982, to capture the emotions of the participating musicians as they finished their retreat.
