This is a profile of expatriate Canadian composer-arranger-conductor Percy Faith, who performs with his orchestra. Elwood Glover interviews Faith about his long career and methods of working. Faith conducts the orchestra in a selection of music arranged by him, including This Train, Temptation, Camelot March, Fiddler on the Roof, the theme from A Summer Place, Are You There?, Yesterday, Keystone Caper and Mexican Hat Dance, as well as a new version of O Canada. The special also features the orchestra playing hit songs by performers who used his arrangements, such as Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney and Sarah Vaughan. A chorus and the orchestra perform Good King Wenceslas. Shirley Harmer sings Embraceable You and Maybe September.
