Robert G. Farrell
Robert Farrell came to sacred music early. His mother, who had been
certified by Rev. Carlo Rossini in the 1930s, was organist at Saint Kieran
Church in Pittsburgh. This is a position he would eventually take over,
working first as director of the boys' choir, then assistant organist,
organist and choir director. He attended Carnegie Mellon University,
studying composition with Nikolai Lopatnikoff. He graduated in 1968 with
degrees in both Piano Performance and Music Education.
For 30 years he was employed by the East Allegheny School District, where he
taught music to children from age 5 to 18. The majority of his time was
spent as Choral Director for the Senior High School. "My retirement in 1998
at age 53," he writes, "made a lot of people jealous!"
Robert has served at the following churches: Saint Kieran Church in
Pittsburgh (as Organist and Choir Director), Saint Robert Bellarmine Church
in East McKeesport PA (as Organist and Choir Director), Saint Patrick Church
in East Brady PA (as Organist), and at Saint John Lutheran Church in
Kittanning PA (as Senior Choir Director and Composer-In-Residence).
In 1989 Robert moved the homestead (with wife Mariann and two children) to a
73-acre farm 50 miles north of Pittsburgh. He and his wife (also a choir
director) worked together at Saint Patrick Church in East Brady. Robert is
also Founder and Director of the Armstrong Community Choir. Currently, he
and his wife are singing with Saint Paul's Cathedral Choir, under the
direction of Donald Fellows (Pittsburgh). "The cathedral choir loft is
special to me," he writes. "While in college I had the honor to sing the
Duruflé Requiem in this loft with Madame Duruflé performing at the Beckerath
organ. It was her husband's glorious style of mixing modern harmonies with
Gregorian chant melodies that inspired my efforts over the years." To
