Frederick Loewe
Frederick Loewe (1901–1988) was an Austrian-American composer of Broadway musical theatre. His scores for My Fair Lady and Camelot became lasting standards and were both filmed.
Born in Berlin to Viennese parents and trained as a concert pianist, he settled in the United States and built a career writing for the stage. Songs from his musicals, among them numbers from Brigadoon, remain part of the standard repertoire and appear on Move programmes of jazz and melody.
