About Percy Faith
Percy Faith, the Canadian-American maestro, is celebrated for his enchanting arrangements of instrumental ballads and timeless Christmas standards. As a bandleader, orchestrator, composer, and conductor, Faith is often hailed as a pioneer of the "easy listening" genre, captivating audiences with his lush, string-heavy orchestrations. His career blossomed in the 1950s, transforming the brass-dominated sounds of the 1940s into a softer, more romantic style that defined American popular music for decades. Faith's discography is a treasure trove of hits, including the unforgettable "Theme from 'A Summer Place'," "Moon River," and "The Windmills of Your Mind." His music continues to evoke nostalgia and warmth, making him a beloved figure in the world of orchestral and easy listening music.
