He combined teaching, composing and conducting in his career, working on both coasts and in Michigan.

The American composer and critic A. Walter Kramer identified Farwell as “probably the most neglected composer in our history - at the turn of the century no one wrote music with greater seriousness of purpose or fought harder for American music”.
