DaveRo Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) (126* d) RE: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) 10 Aug 24


It appeared on the 1984 LP 'Waltz Of The Wind' by 'Fiddle Fever', which included Jay Ungar and Molly Mason:

So 1983 is a very plausible copyright date - i.e. the date when Ungar or his agent made the copyright deposit.

The first printed sheet music may have followed years later, when The Civil War popularised it. Perhaps he xeroxed a few dozen copies for his students in the '80s. Perhaps they played by ear.
