Dow Chemical has been saturating American TV with a new ecology-minded commercial. Bedhind the voiceover is a perfectly beautiful fiddle (or violin) melody.

It's style is reminiscent of "Ashokan Farewell," but is obviously a different tune. Can anyone identify it for us?

I haven't heard it....if style is rem. of Ashcan, it 'might' be Prairie Spring, also by Jay Unger

I found it at the Dow site. It's under 'Dow Launches New U.S. Advertising Campaign'.

Click the little 'play' arrow? You get a little video on the right-hand side of the page. It's a pretty tune, a bit reminiscent of Ashoken Farewell, but also Da Schlocket Light (pretty sure I spelled that wrong). Multiple fiddles. Here is the what you should get when you click on Windows Media 56K Play

Sucky...can't really hear the tune...but I don't think it's Prairie Spring by Unger.

How about somebody post an mp3 link for those of us who can't listen to Windows Media files?

Though I suppose we could folkify it by calling it whatever we please.

There's a title for you.
