english
From the incidental music composed in 1954 to the play “Twelfth night” by Shakespeare, Farkas selected four songs, which were later given in concert with piano or harp accompaniment under the title "Songs from the Twelfth night by Shakespeare." "Come away" is the third of them.
The melody of "Come away" appeared again in 1964 in the Concertino all'antica for baritone (viola di bordone) viola and violoncello or or string orchestra. Farkas used it as theme in the second movement "Aria con variazioni". In 1995, he adapted it again, this time for mixed choir, and dedicated this new version to his daughter-in-law Françoise.

Le thème du « Come away » apparut de nouveau en 1964 dans le Concertino all'antica for baryton (viola di bordone) or violoncello or viola and string orchestra. Farkas s’en servit comme motif de base pour son 2ème mouvement “Aria con variazioni”. En 1995, il l’adapta une fois de plus, cette fois pour choeur mixte, et dédia cette nouvelle version à sa belle-fille Françoise.

Shakespeare: Vizkereszt címȕ darabjàhoz 1954-ben ìrtam színházi kisérȍzenét. A dalbetétek közül a „Gyere már, te halál”-t 1995-ben átírtam kòrusra és menyemnek, Francoise-nak dedikáltam.
Farkas Ferenc
"Come away" annak az érett mesterségbeli tudàsnak a mintadarabja, amikor nagy mélységeket, jelentéstartalmakat a legegyszerübb formàban, eszköztelenül is képes kifejezni a zeneszerzö. Torokszoritò a darab egyszerüsége mögötti tartalom, s az ezt leheletfinoman megszòlaltatott zenei szépség.
