This lovely tune was written by Jay Ungar in 1982 and was played as the farewell waltz at the annual Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps that Ungar and Molly Mason ran at the lakefront Ashokan Field Campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz. Ashokan was the name of a Catskill Region village that is now mostly covered by the Ashokan Reservoir. The tune is written, and normally played, in the key of D. I've arranged it here in the key of G.
