Born in St Ives, Cornwall, of part Welsh, part American ancestry, Lloyd grew up in a very musical family. LLoyd showed his talent as a composer early; he began composing at the age of 9, and began serious study at the age of 14. He was mainly educated at home because of rheumatic fever. He was trained in the dramatic aspects of opera by his father, who would regularly give him scenes from English plays to set to music, and he later studied violin with Albert Sammons and composition with Frank Kitson and Harry Farjeon. He was a student at Trinity College London. His first symphony, written at the age of 19, was premiered in 1932 by the Penzance Orchestral Society and was performed again in 1933 by the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra, with the composer conducting on both occasion. A second symphony had its premiere in 1935 and was soon followed by a third. George Lloyd and his father William, formed The New English Opera Company in 1935, with the intention of establishing a school of English opera. George Lloyd's first opera, Iernin, with a libretto by his father, was performed in 1934 in Penzance, before being transferred to the Lyceum Theatre, London, where it had an unusually long run. His second opera, The Serf, was staged by Vladimir Rosing at Covent Garden in 1938. Lloyd served in World War II with the Royal Marines as a Bandsman on board the cruiser HMS Trinidad on Arctic convoys. He was manning the transmitting station, situated deep in the hull of the ship, in 1942, during an engagement. The Trinidad fired a faulty torpedo which travelled in a circular track and hit the ship, fracturing a large fuel oil tank. Many of Lloyd's shipmates were drowned in the fuel oil, and he was the last man to escape from the compartment. He suffered severe mental and physical trauma from the shell shock, and was hospitalized before being discharged from the Royal Marines. After 4 years he was well enough to start composing again, through the devotion and love of his Swiss wife, Nancy. In 1946 he wrote two symphonies and the opera John Socman, the last commissioned for the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1952, he took up full-time residence in Dorset. For 20 years, in addition to intermittent composition, he was a market gardener and grew mushrooms and carnations. During this period he continued to write in a tonal, melodic style, contrary to the prevailing climate of modernist and avant garde styles, so he met with difficulties in obtaining performances of his music. In 1972 he sold his market garden business and moved to London to 'pick up the pieces of my musical life' as he put it, and began an extraordinary and productive Indian Summer. He was a very early adopter of digital technology, and established his own recording, production, publishing and distribution company, making 22 CD recordings in all. After his death he was 'Composer of the Week' on Radio 3, and the 2013 BBC Proms program includes performances of his Requiem and his H.M.S.Trinidad March for Orchestra on the Last Night of The Proms.

George Walter Selwyn Lloyd (28 June 1913 – 3 July 1998) was a British composer. Born in St Ives, Cornwall, of part Welsh, part American ancestry, Lloyd grew up in a very musical family. Lloyd's works include 12 symphonies and four piano concertos, two violin concertos and a cello concerto. For his three operas, Lloyd's father wrote the libretti. Lloyd also wrote four works for brass band: Royal Parks, Diversions on a Bass Theme, English Heritage and Kings Messenger. He wrote the official ship's march for the Royal Marine Band on HMS Trinidad, and later arranged the work for orchestra and for brass band. He also wrote a work for wind band: Forest of Arden. His choral-orchestral works include Pervigilium Veneris (The Vigil of Venus), A Litany and A Symphonic Mass. His chamber-works include music for solo and duet piano, brass quintet, and works for violin and piano. Lloyd’s first opera, Iernin, was inspired by The Nine Maidens standing stones near St Columb Major, and tells the story of one of the Maidens who comes back to life as a fairy. The opera was first performed in 1934 at the Pavilion in Penzance, Cornwall. It was recorded in 1985 by the BBC Concert Orchestra, with the composer conducting and Marilyn Hill-Smith singing the title role. To mark the centenary of Lloyd's birth, the opera is to be staged by Surrey Opera, in a new production directed by Alexander Hargreaves and conducted by Surrey Opera’s Artistic Director Jonathan Butcher, in Croydon, Surrey in October 2013, with further provisional performances on 1 and 2 November in Penzance. In 2013, the British Library acquired all of George Lloyd's autograph music manuscripts, sketches and draft scores. (Ref: Wikipedia) The three-movement Symphony No. 7 (written in 1957-9 and orchestrated in Summer 1974) is influenced by the story of the Greek mythological figure of Proserpine. However, it is fair to assume that something more personal than the Proserpine legend lies behind this deeply moving and tragic work and perhaps it is in this symphony rather than the Fourth that Lloyd fully grapples with his horrific experiences of 1942 and gives artistic expression to his inner torment: after completing this monumental work, the composer wanted to die and was taken off to hospital.
