FARE THEE WELL ________________________________________________________________________________
for SATB chorus and piano Farewell! if ne'er I see thee more, Though distant calls my flight impel, I shall not less thy grace adore, So friend, forever fare thee well. Farewell! forever, did I say? What, never more thy face to see? Then take the last fond look to-day, And still to-morrow think of me. Farewell! alas, the tragic sound Has many a tender bosom torn; While desolation spread around, Deserted friendship left to mourn. Farewell! awakes the sleeping tear, The dormant rill from sorrow's eye, Express'd from one by nature dear, Whose bosom heaves the latent sigh. Farewell! is but departure's tale, When fond association ends, And fate expands her lofty sail, To show the distant flight of friends. Alas! and if we sure must part, Far separated long to dwell, I leave thee with a broken heart, So friend, forever, fare thee well. I leave thee, but forget thee never, Words cannot my feeling tell, 'Fare thee well, and if forever, Still forever fare thee well.' "Farewell to Frances" George Moses Horton (1798-1884)
George Moses Horton was born a slave on a North Carolina tobacco plantation. During his teenage years, he taught himself to read and began creating poetry. Unable to write, he spoke his poetry to crowds at the weekly Chapel Hill farmers market. Popular with University of North Carolina students (who would often pay Horton for his poems and lend him books), he caught the attention of Caroline Lee Whiting Hentz (author and wife of a UNC professor). With her help, Horton’s collection of poetry, The Hope of Liberty, was published in 1829. With its publishing, Horton became the first black author to publish a book in the South. With his earnings, Horton hoped to buy his freedom, but his attempts were repeatedly denied despite public support. Following the Civil War, after almost 70 years a slave, Horton settled in Philadelphia for at least 17 years of freedom before his death in the early 1880s. The music of composer Michael Rickelton "seizes the ear" (Gramophone). An experienced composer of solo, chamber, and orchestral works, Michael has a particularly strong and critically-acclaimed affinity for the voice. "Rickelton writes with a distinctive and expansive voice. (Tom Hall - Music Director Emeritus Baltimore Choral Arts Society). Michael's choral, solo, chamber, and orchestra works have been performed and broadcast throughout the United States and abroad. Recently, his works have been played by the Nashville Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, and Peabody Symphony, the Baltimore Choral Arts Society, the Pacific Chorale's John Alexander Singers, and the Choir of the Washington National Cathedral. Recent seasons have included stints as composer-in-residence with The Bridge Ensemble and St. David's Episcopal Church in Baltimore. His composition Pentecost for SATB chorus and piano was recently recorded by The John Alexander Singers and released on Delos records. Albany Records recently released Time and Memory, an album dedicated to Michael’s works for voice and piano. Michael is also an active performer and educator, serving on the music faculties of The Peabody Conservatory, The Johns Hopkins University, and Towson University. He currently resides in Baltimore with his wife and two sons.

*Performance Note: "Fare Thee Well" may be performed independently or together with "To A Friend". When performed together, "To A Friend" should precede "Fare Thee Well", and be performed without pause. If perfomed together, the works should be programmed as "To A Friend, Fare Thee Well" with each piece listed as follows: To A Friend, Fare Thee Well I. To A Friend II. Fare Thee Well If "Fare Thee Well" is not immediately preceded by "To A Friend", then the chorus will omit the first two bars, entering as notated beginning in measure 6. If preceded by "To A Friend", the choral parts in the first two measures may also be omitted at the discretion of the conductor if intonation warrants such a decision. "Fare Thee Well" is also included in a collection of pieces setting the poetry of George Moses Horton. Copyright © 2018 by Michael Rickelton, ASCAP, all rights reserved www.MichaelRickelton.com
