Other sites which may be of interest
Sadly
the
Robert Farnon Society came
to an end in October 2013 and its magazine ‘Journal
Into Melody’
will be sorely missed.
It
is hoped that its WEB pages will continue so do keep checking here
for the latest information:
The Light
Music Society - for all lovers of Light Music, especially British
Ray Conniff
- if you like Percy Faith, odds are you also like Ray's
music. Doug Mitchell's pages are well worth a visit and contain
comprehensive listings.
Nelson
Riddle fans should visit the
official Nelson Riddle WEB pages.
One of the best MOR sites on the WEB is The
Space Age Pop Music Standards Page - don't be put off by this
title - and it also has lots of links to other interesting pages -
well worth a visit.
Classic Themes
from David Shields includes excellent biographies of Percy Faith,
Robert Farnon, Leroy Anderson, David Rose, Nelson Riddle and many
others and now has a new section - 'Classic US TV Themes'.

Who wrote that tune?
If you are interested in finding out who composed a
particular piece of music, or discovering what else they have
written, both ASCAP
(American Society of Composers and Publishers) and BMI
maintain on-line data bases which contain a wealth of information.
Although both are American organisations, they contain much
information about composers of other nationalities, including British.
