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 impresario1 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 prodigy1 played the piano, the violin and the French horn2.

    In 1965 Lloyd Webber entered Westminster School2 as a Queen’s Scholar and began a course in history at Magdalen College in Oxford. His true calling pulled3 him in another direction. He dropped out4 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 collaboration5 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 awards6 include seven Tonys3, three Grammys4, seven Oliviers5, a Golden Globe6, an Oscar7, two International Emmys8, the Praemium Imperiale9, the Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre10 and the Kennedy Center Honors Award11.

    Now we are listening to the sings from ’The Phantom of the Opera’’, ‘’Cats’’ and ‘’Jesus Christ Superstar’’. (Звучат аудиозаписи мелодий)
