More about this title

About the Artist: Percy Faith and His Orchestra

Percy Faith was a Canadian bandleader and composer who became one of the most prolific recording artists of the mid-20th century. His lush orchestral arrangements and gift for crafting accessible yet sophisticated popular music made him a fixture on radio, television, and in film throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Faith's ability to translate contemporary standards into elegant instrumental settings influenced a generation of arrangers and remains a touchstone for understanding how popular music of that era achieved both commercial appeal and musical substance.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the sophisticated elegance that defined Percy Faith's sound while remaining genuinely playable at the keyboard. The three-page format makes it approachable for students developing their jazz and popular music literacy without sacrificing the lush harmonic language that gives the piece its character.

What to expect

Romance and yearning wrapped in lush orchestral color. The piece unfolds with the warmth and sophistication of a classic film score, inviting performers to shape each phrase with intention and restraint.

Who it's for

This edition works well for intermediate to advanced piano students exploring standards and popular music from the golden age of American songwriting. Directors building a jazz or popular music unit will find this accessible enough for classroom performance while maintaining genuine musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay close attention to any dynamics markings; Faith's arrangements relied on subtle dynamic shaping to create depth across the orchestration.
  • Allow rubato in the lyrical passages to mirror the vocal phrasing of the original, then lock into steady time during rhythmic sections.
  • Treat the arrangement as a conversation between melody and accompaniment rather than a simple melody-plus-chords approach.

How to use it

Pair this with other popular standards from the 1950s and 1960s for a concert focused on the American songbook and its orchestral treatments. It works equally well as a solo piano feature or as an introduction to arranging concepts when students analyze how the orchestral version translates to keyboard writing.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting jazz and popular music notation
  • Balancing chord voicings with melodic line
  • Navigating harmonic progressions typical of mid-century standards
  • Shaping rubato in lyrical contexts
