Welcome to the Robert Farnon / Journal into Melody / Legends of Light Music pages

Due to a problem on the server, we lost our database. We were only able to use a database that was saved automatically in June 2022. As as result all articles and reviews since then are lost. Maybe over time we can upload these files again, depending what we saved in our email.

This website is dedicated to the wonderful music of Robert Farnon 1917-2005.

The Robert Farnon Society issued its last printed edition of "Journal Into Melody" in December 2013. Its activities are now solely centred around this revamped website. Were you a contributor to Journey Into Melody?  If so we would welcome news, articles and features from you -- they will be published here. We also welcome potential new contributors who have something to say about the world of light music. Read our new articles here.
Contact us through Facebook if you have news or an article to contribute. Regrettably, no other correspondence can be entered into.
Please use our Facebook page for questions or requests.

 For professionals wishing to hire Robert Farnon's scores, please contact Boosey & Hawkes who administer them on behalf of Warner Chappell.
