Percy Faith
Touchdown!

Description

Percy Faith, the Canadian-born conductor and arranger who became one of Columbia Records’ most celebrated orchestral pop figures, turns his signature lush, full-bodied orchestral sound to the great American college fight song tradition on Touchdown! The CD sweeps through iconic anthems from powerhouse programs coast to coast — from the University of Michigan’s thunderous The Victors and the University of Notre Dame’s beloved Victory March to the University of Texas’s rousing The Eyes of Texas. Faith’s gift for elevating familiar melodies into grand, sweeping arrangements makes this far more than a novelty record; it’s a showcase of Americana rendered with genuine craft and warmth, appealing equally to college football loyalists and fans of classic mid-century orchestral pop…
