The Ashokan Farewell

[oxysback]

Our church had an event a few weeks ago focusing on genealogy/family history. I was asked to play a Celtic piece on my flute (even though I'm of Swedish orgin...hehe) and my accompanyist handed her camcorder to my daughter to tape. I don't think I've ever seen myself play, so this was a treat for me. The sound came out pretty good, too.

Anyway, I thought I'd share. Just ingore the camera going in and out of focus and the crying kid.

The piece is called The Ashokan Farewell. It's not a traditional Celtic tune. It was written in the late 80's or so if memory serves me, but the style is definitely Celtic.

Enjoy!
