The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan The pines and the willows know soon we will part There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken And a love that will always remain in my heart My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter The magic of moving as one And a time we'll remember long ever after The moonlight and music and dancing are done Will we climb the hills once more? Will we walk the woods together? Will I feel you holding me close once again? Will every song we've sung stay with us forever? Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then? Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping Over the lake the stars shine They wonder if you and I will be keeping The magic and music, or leave them behind
Beautifully played and with no accompaniment!! Exactly how I like my hammered dulcimer music. Wish I could play that instrument! Thanks for sharing. Made my evening!
Nice arrangement of Jay Unger's Ashokan Farewell. Very light and airy.....like Jay plays it. I also like it in a more powerful arrangement using lots of three note chords and filling in with the bass bridge notes. Good luck with your playing.
Never thought about picking up some of the low notes on the Bass. I stay on the treb,. :) Adds a whole new sound to the song due to the tonal difference between the same note on both bridges.. Gotta try that on a number of other tunes too.
Ryan O'Farrell : A very nice alternate rendition and arrangement of this beautiful waltz, on an instrument not heard very often. But to say that it puts Jay's performance of it to shame, the man who composed it specifically for fiddle and guitar, Is a stretch beyond comprehension.

The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan
The pines and the willows know soon we will part
There's a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken
And a love that will always remain in my heart
My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter
The magic of moving as one
And a time we'll remember long ever after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done
Will we climb the hills once more?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we've sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?
Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Over the lake the stars shine
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The magic and music, or leave them behind
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!🛐👍🌹🌹✝️✝️💕💓🌄🎆🔯❤️🕎💗🇺🇸
Thank you. This is my arrangement. I almost always play tunes arranged by myself on a dulcimer.
Love this melody and you played it beautifully.x
Thank you.
Beautiful!
Absolutely amazing! How you can bring all those notes to life just by striking a few strings. You certainly have a gift.
This is one of my mom's favorite pieces of music. Thank you for putting it out here.

So lovely, a past in memory or a suggestion of the eternal beauty of a fine melody...
Beautifully expressed.
Very, very nice. A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.
Nice! Jay Unger would be proud. Really cool hammers too.
Our groups leader loved that and we learned it. He recently died and it's a bittersweet memory of him.
I learned of this wonderful tune from Ken Burn's: "The Civil War". It is a recurring theme through out the series (11 hrs.).
Marvelous. Thank you for that delight.
This instrument sounds lovely and has as it seems a lot of different names and forms all over the world
I used to play this as a duet with my sister. Very cool.
I am enthralled by your playing and that tune.
How lovely.
Beautiful playing of a beautiful song.
I'm in tears!

Beautiful. Just perfect...
Mystical!1
So beautiful.
Man, I wish I could play one of those!!!!!!
So very pretty.
Beautiful! Wonderfully played. Thank you.
You should publish a book of your arrangements like this. I would buy it!
You played this so well. It sounds very nice your dulcimer. I am learning to play the banjo now. They sound somewhat the same.
Incredible...
Beautifully done!! :-)

Somehow this instrument seems more appropriate to the piece
Epic!
You put Jay Ungar to shame. This is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard. Well done!

Please, would you let me buy the sheet music for your beautiful arrangement? I would so love to play it.

Oddly enough sounds better at 1.25 speed
I tried it and you're right.
1.25 speed
I want to see someone play he mandu on hammered dulcimer.
Where could I get the arrangement you use for this song. It is beautiful.
I really like your hammers. Were did you get them?
Probably from a wizard.
I've never seen or heard of this instrument...
Hello! I really like how this sounds. May I use in a college project? I promise you it's not commercial, only for study purpose.
What does the row on the far right do? Is it leftover pitch after obtaining the tuning for the rows on the left?
Yes, the leftover pitch. That section not played.
To ytaoki: By any chance, were you by any chance at the Gettysburg re-enactment in 2008?
Beautiful!
