Teacher: As is known we don’t study musical composition of English composers at school.
Today we talk about English modern composers.
So the first of them is Andrew Lloyd Webber. He is a British composer and impresario
1
of
musical theatre. Andrew Lloyd Webber was born in London in 1948. His father was the director
of the London College of Music. His mother was a piano teacher. He started writing his own
music at a young age when he was 6. The true prodigy
1
played the piano, the violin and the
French horn
2
.
In 1965 Lloyd Webber entered Westminster School
2
as a Queen’s Scholar and began a course
in history at Magdalen College in Oxford. His true calling pulled
3
him in another direction. He
dropped out
4
in the winter of 1965 to study at the Royal College of Music and explore his
interest in musical theater.
When Lloyd Webber was 17 he met 21-year-old law student Tim Rice and thus began the
long collaboration
5
of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. In 1965 they began working on
their first musical ‘’The Likes of Us’’. Then they worked on ‘’Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat’’. The pair’s next project was ‘’Jesus Christ Superstar’’. The 1980s was
the end of the Rice-Lloyd Webber collaboration. Lloyd Webber started to work on his musical
composition alone. First up was ‘’Cats’’. ‘’Cats’’ became the longest-running musical in that
London’s history. Lloyd Webber’s next hit was ‘’The Phantom of the Opera’’.
His hard work and success has made him one of the 100 richest persons in Great Britain. His
awards

million copies world-wide and won her first Grammy.
