WTMCassandra Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wow, that was sad. Maybe it was the music. It's so sad to see our country divided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 The tune is one of my all-time favorites, "Ashokan Farewell." Though minor-keyed, I think it is just beautiful. Both dds chose to play this in their senior piano recitals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhM Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 More for those who are interested: Jay Ungar & Molly Mason are the phenomenal musicians who are featured prominently on the soundtrack for Ken Burn's Civil War on PBS. Jay composed Ashokan Farewell. Strongly recommend giving them a listen, especially if you're fans of American folk music! (OK - here I go trying to add a link - we'll see...) http://www.jayandmolly.com/ashokanfarewell.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodi-FL Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I grew up in the north, but have lived in the south for more than 10 years. I was shocked and how vastly different the views on the Civil War are. So, how do they teach it in CA? Thanks for the video-we'll be studying this first term next year.
