Mirror site of the Bill Halvorsen "Percy Faith Pages": Remembering PERCY FAITH... orchestrator, composer and conductor, known for his lush arrangements of pop music and standards. He pioneered the "easy listening" or "mood music" format which became staples of American popular music in the 1950s and the 1960s.
Meet Nick Perito
Born in Denver, Perito's start in music was at an early age, when he received an accordion as a gift from his parents. Both his uncle and brother encouraged his learning by gifts of sheet music; as he mastered one song, he would then be given a new one as an incentive. Perito started performing at parties at a young age and received a scholarship to the Lamont School of Music, studying at the University of Denver. Was conductor, arranger, director or producer with Percy Faith at the Capitol LA Studios conducting Percy Faith's Music for a JVC Series in 1994.
