beautiful music
Harmonious auditory delight
Beautiful music is a radio format featuring lush, heavily orchestrated instrumental arrangements—strings, soft brass, gentle tempos.
Popular from the 1960s through the 1980s, it offered relaxing background listening: Mantovani, Percy Faith, easy-listening versions of popular songs.
The format has largely given way to smooth jazz and adult contemporary, though some stations persist.
