Jay Ungar & Molly Mason have become one of the most celebrated duos in the American acoustic music scene. Millions were entranced by the music they did for Ken Burns PBS documentary The Civil War. Their performance of the series signature tune, Jays haunting composition Ashokan Farewell, earned the couple international acclaim. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. This simple, but powerful melody was originally inspired by the week-long Fiddle & Dance Camps that Jay & Molly run for musicians and dancers at Ashokan Center in the Catskill Mountains. People attend the camps to become better fiddlers, guitarists, mandolin players, percussionists, dancers, dance callers and instructors-becoming links in the chain that helps pass our folk legacy from the people who came before us to those who will follow.The 62 original tunes in Catskill Mountain Waltzes & Airs were largely inspired by the musical styles and idioms that are featured at Jay & Mollys Fiddle & Dance Camps. The flavors range from Celtic to Western, New England to Eastern European, Scandinavian to French Musette and many more.Titles:Allaire,The Alpenhorn,Amid the Rivers and the Streams,Ashokan Farewell,Beckie?s Waltz,Blue Noon,The Blue River Waltz,Brother?s Keeper,Cabernet,Call of the West,The Catskill Mountain Waltz,Cedar Grove,Cool September Rain,The Covered Bridge,Cry of the Hillborn,The Dawn of Time,Delbert?s Tear,Dusty & James,Dying Embers,The Elephant Hotel,Ellery Rose,The Grand Master Waltz,The Great Wall of Manitou,Hudson Valley Serenade,Johanna,John & Pamela,Liberty?s Golden Shore,The Love of My Life,The Lovers?
