William Lloyd Webber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Southcombe Lloyd Webber (11 March 1914, London – 29 October 1982, London) was an organist and composer. He was Director of the London College of Music from 1964 until his death.
William Lloyd Webber's music has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, perhaps owing to the fame of his sons, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Julian Lloyd Webber. Andrew's Requiem was composed in memory of his father.
In 2005, Lloyd Webber's The Divine Compassion was revived by the Aeolian Singers. This large scale choral work takes 95 minutes to perform and is based on the account of The Passion of Christ in the Gospel of John.
A major event, the 2007 William Lloyd Webber Festival will take place in the spring and summer of 2007 in London.
