This series contains both printed and manuscript items. The compositions by Farrar are exclusively for voice with piano accompaniment; the majority date from the late 1930s. During her tenure at the Metropolitan Opera, Farrar attracted large numbers of young admirers, who were known as the "Gerryflappers." Many of the original compositions which Farrar wrote in her retirement, such as "The Little Christmas Donkey" and "The Easter Robin," were written for the children of these admirers. Music arranged or translated by Farrar, including several vocal arrangements of works by Rachmaninoff and Kreisler, is also included. |
