The Canadian Band of the Allied Expeditionary Force
Robert Joseph Farnon CM
(24 July 1917 – 23 April 2005)
For most of the second half of the 20th century, Canadian-born Robert Farnon was generally regarded as the greatest living composer of Light Orchestral music in the world. Farnon was also revered as an arranger of quality popular songs, having influenced most of the top writers on both sides of the Atlantic during the second half of this century. He has also produced some memorable film scores, and could have earned considerable fame and fortune had he decided to settle in Hollywood. But it is our good fortune in Britain that he chose to make his home with us.
