‘Ashokan Farewell’: The Story Behind the Tune Ken Burns Made Famous
When the documentary The Civil War debuted 25 years ago, it gave a new life—and old history—to a gorgeous melody. It’s haunting and mournful and hopeful and beautiful. It’s called “Ashokan Farewell,” and it’s the de facto theme song for the Ken Burns miniseries The Civil War, which premiered 25 years ago this week.
