William Lloyd Webber

William Southcombe Lloyd Webber (11 March 1914 – 29 October 1982) was an English organist and composer, who achieved some fame as a part of the modern classical music movement whilst commercially facing mixed opportunities. Besides his long and prestigious career, composing works ranging from choral pieces to instrumental items and more, he is known for being the father of his fellow composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and the cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. He also served as a teacher, instructing pupils in music theory at the Royal College of Music for many years until his death in 1982.
