Robert Farnon was a Canadian-born composer, conductor and arranger from Toronto who began his career in the 1930s–1940s and later relocated to the United Kingdom, working across light music, jazz-influenced orchestral repertoire and film and television scoring. His work combined jazz harmonies and richly layered orchestral colour, encompassing radio, film and television themes and contributing to the development of post-war British light music and modern orchestral arranging.
