March 20, 1926 – February 28, 2021.
Pianist and composer Richard Faith passed away at his home in Savoy, Illinois, on Sunday, February 28, 2021 just shy of his 95th birthday. He was well known to the NATS community as a prolific song composer but also known for his many chamber, choral, operatic, orchestral, organ, and piano works.
Faith began his career as a concert pianist, performing with the Chicago Symphony and was awarded a Fulbright to study composition in Rome and eventually veered toward a college teaching career. As professor of piano, Faith spent much of his life at the University of Arizona-Tucson where he created most of his music and where all of his manuscripts and documents will be archived.
