This is such a great version of “Midnight on the Water” and such a cool treatment of “Bonaparte’s Retreat”. Thank you!

This is one of my favorite piece. Absolutely adore this piece. Wonderful performance. The music is classic Americana. Copland, a genius ...

We played this at my Mum's funeral 7 years ago. We were two recorders and a lyre. we also played Llwyn Onn (The Ash Grove). Both pieces are very beautiful.

It amazes me how many ppl still ask for this when I play at Civil War events and sometimes for other unrelated gigs. At the former, someone will ask… “do you know that tune/song that…” and even w/o finishing that sentence… they mean AF, every time. It’s timeless, no matter why or when written, that should be in every violinist/fiddler’s rep. Sure I tell them the author and story being it, but at this point… it’s firmly in place as a Civil War ballad. I’ll play it anytime. ☺️🎻🎶

I followed the Ken Burns series on TV and in due time bought the box set. BUT I discovered that this ballad was not as old as it sounds BUT was composed for the doc. No harm done.

It does not occur but for moments in our lives when a song is not defined by each of us in our own way...but rather we are shown what the tune should - and does - mean...Ashokan is such a song.

We've been using this video for 10 years as an example for my orchestra students to see how the very best chamber musicians play. Cueing to phrasing to matching bow energy/style - every skill is displayed beautifully. Thank you for sharing this with us! I owe you 10 years of thanks.

Midnight on the Water sounds so haunting, the way it echoes in the performance hall. Almost like a lament.

Remarkable when you realize that we are used to hearing that with an orchestra and they are doing it with a handful of string players, a flute, an oboe/clarinet a bassonist (who they won't let sit down) and a Piano.....AND NO ONE is DIRECTING!

In April of 2024, I will be 77 years of age and although I have recorded in writing a lot of things that I would like to have shared with my friends, I want this played at my funeral when the time comes. It’s so beautiful.

What moves me about Jay Unger is, although he has tremendous command, his playing isn't about virtuosity--look at how good I am. His playing is about depth. Where does this song reside? He conveys where the song is coming from and introduces the listeners to that place within themselves. Excuse me for being sappy, but the beauty in the music is undeniable.
