About The Record:

Music of Christmas is an instrumental series of Christmas songs by Percy Faith. The liner notes state: "The music of Christmas is a thing unto itself: so lovely, so inextricably woven with the season it celebrates, that it is impossible to assess. This collection of Christmas music presented by Percy Faith and his orchestra, is not only a survey of some of the finest melodies, it is also one of the few programs of Christmas music that does not offer the words. So familiar are they, that they come to mind as the notes are played. in each of these presentations, Percy Faith has attempted not only to convey the surging power of the songs, but to conjure up the time and atmosphere that produced them."
