Ashokan Farewell
Ashokan Farewell is a contemporary waltz in 3/4 time composed by American musician Jay Ungar in 1982. Written in D major, the piece features a poignant, lamenting melody characterized by a deeply expressive and evocative playing style. Although it was composed recently, it gained widespread historical association and fame as the haunting central theme of Ken Burns's acclaimed 1990 documentary series, The Civil War.
