I'll grant that the Fontspec manual can be intimidating, especially for 
newcomers to TeX (as I was when I encountered it).  However, it does say 
in section 4.1 of the Fontspec manual:

The simplest example might be something like
	\fontspec[ ... ]{Cambria}
in which the bold and italic fonts will be found automatically (if they 
exist) and are immediately accessible with the usual \textit and \textbf 
commands.
