Wanderjahre of a Revolutionist and Other Essays on American Music (Eastman Studies in Music)
|
Review
Stoner's introduction provides the reader with an important historical context for Farwell's writings and demonstrates what a prophet Farwell was... Scholars should recognize how far ahead of his time the gifted and articulate Farwell was. An excellent bibliography accompanies this fine addition to the literature on American music in the 20th century. --Choice

This is a compilation of composer Arthur Farwell's essays on music, copiously annotated wan Press (which Farwell founded as a means for American composers to get their works published), east and west coast musical activities, etc. Absolutely dripping with fascinating stuff, not least of all Farwell's thoughts on music in general and the direction of American music in particular.
Farwell was a prolific composer, but finding scores can be challenging. Singers should note the recent B&H editions of 34 (!) settings of Emily Dickinson; the odd number may be found in libraries here and there, but the motherlode resides in the Sibley Library at the Eastman School of Music.
