I began setting Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats to music late in 1977, partly because it is a book I remember

with affection from my childhood and partly because Iwanted to set existing verse to music. When I have written

with lyricists inthe past we have agreed together the dramatic structure, but for the most part the lyrics have been

written to the music. So Iwas intrigued to see whether I could write a complete piece the other way round.

Very luckily Old Possum contains verses that are extraordinarily musical: they have rhythms that are very much

their own, like the 'Rum Tum Tugger' or 'Old Deuteronomy' and, although clearly they dictate to some degree the

music that will accompany them, they are frequently of irregular and exciting metre and are very challenging to a

composer.

My first plans were for a concert anthology, and itwas with this inmind that some ofmy settings were performed in

the summer of 1980 at the Sydmonton Festival. Mrs Eliot fortunately came to the concert and brought with her

various unpublished pieces of verse by her husband, including 'Grizabella: the Glamour Cat.' The musical and

dramatic images that this created for me made me feel that there was very much more to the project than I had

realized. InTrevor Nunn Ifound a collaborator with a taste for tackling theatrical problems that most people would

consider insoluble. Together we worked out a dramatic structure for a full evening, helped by further unpublished

Eliot material that Mrs Eliot kindly provided and by the many references to cats inthe the main body of his writ ing.

The show, as its form emerged, gave me an exciting opportunity to compose dance music and Iwas fortunate to

be guided through the unfamiliar world of choreography by someone as experienced as Gillian Lynne.

I enjoyed working on Cats as much as on any show on which I have worked. My gratitude will be undying toValerie Eliot without whose encouragement itcould never have taken its present form.

Cats opened at the New London Theatre on May 11th 1981. This folio contains most of the music from the

London production as recorded on the Polydor double record album. For reasons of space there are inevitably

some omissions, principally the longer dance sections and the extended setting of 'The Pekes and the Pollicles'.

There are also some small alterations and cuts, notably in the Prologue 'Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats'.

T. S. Eliot wrote the Old Possum poems in a series of letters to his godchildren and it is almost certain that their

parents were just as much the intended recipients of the poems as those chi ldren. I hope that the musio ot Cats

achieves the sense of fun that abounds in Eliot's verse.

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER

A Note on the Text

Most of the poems comprising Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939) have been set to music complete and

in their originally published form: a few have been subject to a minor revision of tense or pronoun, and eight lines

have been added to The Song of the Jel licles'. However, some of our lyrics, notably The Marching Song of the

Pollicle Dogs' and the story of 'Grizabella', were discovered among the unpublished writings of Eliot. The

prologue is based on ideas and incorporates lines from another unpublished poem, entit led 'Pellicle Dogs and

Jellicle Cats'. 'Memory' includes lines from and is suggested by 'Rhapsody on a Windy Night' , and other poems

of the Prufrock period. Al l other words in the show are taken from the Collected Poems.

The Inv itation to the Jellicle Ball

Jellicle Cats come out tonight,Jellicle Cats come one come all:

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright -Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.

When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn,Through a silence you feel you can cut with a knife,

Announces the cat who can now be rebornAnd come back to a different Jellicle life.

Jellicle Cats meet once a yearAt the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice,And the Jellicle leader will soon appearAnd make what is known as the Jellicle choice -

For waiting up there is the Heavyside Layer,Full of wonders one Jellicle only will see,And Jellicles ask, because Jellicles dare:Who will it be? Who will it be?

The Moments of Happiness

The moments of happiness ...

We had the experience but missed the meaning,

And approach to the meaning restores the experience

In a different form, beyond any meaning

We can assign to happiness ...

. . . the past experience revived in the meaning

Is not the experience of one life only

But of many generations - not forgetting

Something that is probably quite ineffable ...

(from T.S. Eliot 'The Dry Salvages' in Four Quartets)
