- With the permission of Jay Ungar (composer of Ashokan Farewell), Priscilla Herdman and lyricist Grian MacGregor, this slide show blends one of my favourite pieces of music with photos from the movie, "Cold Mountain" and images from the era of the Civil War.
I've been listening to and playing folk music for 50 years or so.
Even so, when I heard this beautiful/sad melody during "The Civil War" series, it fit the film so perfectly that I thought it was from that era -- only learning its origin quite later.
hangdogit A common sentiment, I’m sure.
The world is big enough for both versions. So's my heart.
It was my belief that this melody was beyond words. I was wrong. My wife and I sat transfixed as we watched and listened. The images complimented the words and music so well. Thank you for your contribution to this lovely work.
Beautiful performance of a lovely, lovely song. Thanks for sharing!
"The Ashokan Farewell", as sung by Priscilla Herdman with lyrics by Grian MacGregor - lovely Scottish name - is hauntingly beautiful.
Could not be more beautiful, musically, vocally, and visually.
yet another one reduced to tears. Lovely, evocative and haunting.
Absolutely beautiful
A great rendition;
Ms Herdman has presented Australian Ballads with equal splendour.
I had the pleasure of seeing her sing this in performance shortly after the lyrics were written. What a voice!
This the most beautiful peice of music I have ever heard it brote a tear
Beautiful combination...the music...the lyrics...the voice...the slide show. Thank you all...I fell in love with the song during Ken Burns show...even more so hearing/seeing this.
I am in tears this song has really touched me it’s so beautiful and so full of longing and reminds me of those who are no longer with me and I yearn for them to be here with me, Thank you so much for posting this beautiful song.
The lyrics are as beautiful as the music. Thank you Mr. Ungar, Mr. MacGregor and Ms. Herdman. John
Beautiful voice a gift
lovely luminous and strong. Thank you Priscilla.
beautiful baby from bethleham
I have been around for a long time and I must confess I never heard Priscilla until quite recently. What a beautiful voice I missed hearing all these years.
This should be an anthem for love...
I've loved Priscilla Herdman's singing since hearing her in a concert in 1981 in Buffalo, NY. Since then, I've followed her career from afar. Her voice has become richer, more beautiful and multifaceted with age. Thank you for this.
This song definitely reminds me of mountains. Especially the ones at Pennsylvania.
I have never heard a more beautiful singing voice.
This is a very angelic version of this piece…..very well done…Bravo Bravo
Thank you for this. The artwork is haunting, so beautiful. This is one of my deepest treasures. Ms. Herdman, I am a singer, I love your voice so much. Raised my sons to Waltzing With Bears. This is so beautiful, you float like no other. Your voice is perfection and freedom all rolled into one. Thank you.
Outstanding video! After several viewings, I am still moved to tears with the beauty of your excellent production. It has been said that the difference between pleasure (a fleeting experience) and joy is that joy has the ability to regenerate itself over time, when memories persist. This wonderful video as combined with Ashokan Farewell from Cold Mountain is truly joyful, and something to be remembered. Thank you so very much for your thoughtful efforts and excellence!!
Sandra you wrote such beautiful thoughts. I Thank You
Unlike a comment on here that Priscilla's voice sounds "stilted" here, I think it meshes very well indeed with Jay Ungar's original score for a tune set in the 1860's.
so nice to hear words to this beautiful waltz! thank you. Love the voice!
Many thanks for making this recording available. I wasn't aware that there were lyrics. This was played for the first dance of bride & father of the bride at my daughter's wedding reception back in 1965, in Schenectady. Thanks for the memory!
My mom and I used to listen to this on trips. She could sing it.
If you happen to be a historian, you sure will cry listening to this. Joyfully crying. This should be the anthem for all historians. Smile
The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan
The pines and the willows know soon we will part
There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken
And a love that will always remain in my heart
My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter
The magic of moving as one
And a time we'll remember long ever after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done
Will we climb the hills once more?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we've sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?
Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Over the lake the stars shine
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The magic and music, or leave them behind
Thank you!
This is so beautiful and sad it made me cry.
Wow! Gorgeous!!
Hi Priscilla ,crystal clear and perfect pitch and such depth of feeling.Will be looking for anything else you sing.Loved this piece.Thank you much.
Simply beautiful.
Very, very lovely.
Beautiful music rendition & lyrics sang enhanced the song!
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying, I'm not crying!
Still haunting and moving beyond description.
Without a doubt, the absolute BEST vocal version.
Very well done. And the song, as sung by Ms. Herdman remains my favorite version of this piece.
Achingly beautiful music, lyrics and video
Very beautifully done
just lovely
Absolutely outstanding and, what a voice! The whole presentation touched me deeply. Thank you for this beautiful piece of work.
Sums up my life....beautiful
This is a beautiful, sublime song and so beautifully sung
can't say it better than George Margo did....bravo, indeed.
Very beautiful music. I love it, it made me fall into the beautiful memory. the time passed would never come back, but I forever remember the good time spent with good persons/good friends.
Thanks for sharing this, by the way, where can I download/find the lyric script?
oh my god my heart
I am crying.
Very well done!!
❤❤
Nice!
I am from England.......This song proves that the people of England, America, Cananda, Australia and New Zealand are a wonder race. We are a people like no other. We pacify, bring the rule of law. spare the conquered and battle down the proud.
Farewell old Mountain
Some music is better without lyrics, this is one. It should be retitled "Song of the North" since Ashokan Reservoir is in New York.
Russ Brady
It’s written in the Southern style though. Regardless it’s a beautiful work of art.
Indeed a missed opportunity for the movie.
So these are the lyrics? Thanks!
Won-der-ful-!-! ♞
Who is the singer?
Like the instrumental better!
Beautiful! With the words added, it should be retitled,"The song of the South"!
Ricky Carr no
I don't like the singer's voice, at all. The song sounds very stilted and formal as Priscilla sings it. Of course this is just my opinion, so don't get upset with me.
