== Biography ==
Farwell was born in St Paul, Minnesota. He trained as an engineer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1893, but was turned towards a musical career by contact with the eccentric Boston-based composer Rudolf Gott. After studying in Boston, he became a pupil of Engelbert Humperdinck in Berlin and Alexandre Guilmant in Paris. Returning to the U.S., he lectured in music at Cornell University from 1899 to 1901, and founded the Wa-Wan Press, dedicated to publishing the works of the American Indianist composers, among whom Farwell himself was a leading figure. From 1910 to 1913 Farwell directed municipal concerts in New York City, including massed performances of choral works, some of them his own, by up to 1,000 voices. He directed the Music School Settlement (Now Third Street Music School Settlement) in NY from 1915-18 where his private pupils included the young Roy Harris. During this period he provided the score for Percy MacKaye's "Community Masque" ''Caliban by the Yellow Sands''. In 1918 he moved to California, assuming the role of Acting Head of the music department at the University of California, Berkeley in 1918-19, he founded the Santa Barbara Community Chorus, was first holder of the composer's fellowship of the Music & Art Association of Pasadena (1921–25), taught theory at Michigan State College (1927–39) and eventually settled in New York. Nicolas Slonimsky noted in ''Baker's Biographical Dictionary'' that "Disillusioned about commercial opportunities for American music, including his own, he established in East Lansing, in April 1936, his own lithographic handpress, with which he printed his own music, handling the entire process of reproduction, including the cover designs, by himself."
His notable students include Bernard Rogers.
