A Cappella,Celtic,Folk,Irish,Standards,Traditional. 16 pages. Scott S. Stewart #1081019. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1505628). “Farewell to Tarwathie” is probably best known from Judy Collins’ recording of 1970 that was accompanied by the songs of Humpback whales; but it started first with a poem written by the Scottish poet-peasant George Scroggie, published in 1857.  His poem was accompanied by the traditional 18th century Scottish air “Kennet’s Dream”. Thus, the marriage of Scroggie’s words to a well-known Scottish fiddle tune gives us the “Farewell to Tarwathie” as we know it today.  It is a song about a young sailor saying good-bye to family and friends as he heads out to sea to find riches in hunting the whale.  This arrangement is scored for a traditional choral mixed ensemble with divisi [SMATTBB] (at times) and a bass-baritone solo, to be performed a cappella.  Performance time: 5:30+-.
