John Higgins writes in the liner notes of the “First Edition Concert Program” included with the first release of the video that “two events set the Requiem in motion. The first was the death of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s father in 1982 and the second was a story about Cambodia in an obscure corner of the New York Times, concerning a boy who was faced with the choice of killing his mutilated sister or being killed himself. Cambodia has no musical influence in the score, but it did give Lloyd Webber the idea of scoring the Requiem for a boy, a girl and a man: in other words, treble, high soprano and tenor. He toyed with including a bass, but soon rejected the concept … The presence of Placido Domingo as the tenor suggests that the Requiem will also be described as operatic.” Andrew Lloyd Webber quits as Tory peer as he claims House of Lords demands more time than ever before".

The work, although a Latin Requiem Mass, was inspired by a tragic article Andrew read in the New York Times about a Cambodian boy who suffered under the Khmer Rouge, and is also dedicated to his father, William Lloyd Webber, who had died in 1982. It includes the song “Pie Jesu,” which remains one of the composer’s most popular works and has been covered by many artists, including Charlotte Church, Anna Netrebko, Marie Osmond and Katherine Jenkins.

Superstar never set out or intended to discuss anything at all like the resurrection. All it ever did was to declare itself to be a version of the last seven days of Jesus Christ. It never even remotely said it was going to move into that area, and to do so would have removed its dramatic purpose. Not to sound irreligious, but quite apart from its religious value, it is a wonderful story, and we wanted to deal primarily with the story’s dramatic rather than its theological side.
