This series includes vocal treatises, lectures and speeches, a catalog of music,
and general writings. Her lecture "Vocal Treatise with Record Illustrations" is
present as well as the typescript for a book of vocal exercises. These vocal
treatises are complemented by three books of her vocal exercises dating from 1923
to 1925. Also of note are Farrar's lectures, "The Effects of War on Music," and
"Music in a War-torn World," both written during World War II. The writings also
include numerous versions of a lecture on the history of music titled "Music
Through the Ages." The majority of the lectures date from the years following
Farrar's retirement from her opera career in 1922. |

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. |
