Ron, our band sometimes plays "Ashokan Farewell" as a waltz for dancing to at a ceilidh - but we tend to play it a little faster than the somewhat sickly-sweet original by Jay Ungar. More in the spirit of a Viennese waltz.

It's a good tune, but there are plenty of other good waltzes to go at which are rarely heard.
