Thread Name: Tune Req: Ashokan Farewell
Subject: RE: Dots neede to Ashakon farewell
super simes,
Welcome to Mudcat. It's a nice, friendly place and you might like to look around, see what's available here, and consider joining as a member. It's free.
Ashokan (note spelling) Farewell was written by Jay Ungar, so it isn't traditional and it is still in copyright, so not in the public domain. It's a beautiful tune and the man who wrote it deserves to be paid for it. In this case, the sheet music shouldn't be for free, in my opinion, because musicians deserve to make a living out of their creations.
If you were looking for a traditional tune, which is in the public domain, you could reasonably expect to find free sheet music.
