Once upon a time, in the family of Jericho cats, there was a female cat in absolute beauty. Her name was Griz Bella, the charming cat. She is the most beautiful cat in the cat family.

But she was not content with the quiet life. She betrayed the cat family and went to the outside world to wander alone. However, Griz Bella didn't live a happy life in the outside world. By the night she returned to the cat family, the Jericho cat family was holding a traditional party to choose one of the cats to go to heaven.

Graz Bella, who has returned to the cat family, has become old and ugly. Cats are full of hostility and contempt for this old cat who once betrayed the family. It was not until later that Griz Bella sang a song expressing memories and remorse in the moonlight, which touched every cat present. She was re-accepted by the cats and was selected and ascended to heaven.

This fairy tale is the main plot of the musical Cat and the background story of the song Memory. Extended information

past lives of Memory

At the beginning, on the eve of the premiere of Cat, the director was still not satisfied with the music of the whole play, thinking that there was no emotional climax and a core aria. That night, Weber went home and thought hard all night, and finally wrote this song "Memories", which has since become one of the most popular songs in the world.

The next morning, the director recalled that he (referring to Weber) said, "How about this?" At that time, we were having a meeting in the rehearsal room and played the music there. Then, I said to everyone, "Remember this day, this moment, because you just heard a wonderful and extraordinary song."

What's more unusual is that this song only had melody and no lyrics. Only a few days left before the premiere, the director came to his house in the country and wrote the following lyrics by himself. Since then, Memory has spread all over the world and become a contemporary classic song, which has been recorded more than 6 times and won many awards.

The brilliant Webber was awarded the title of Academician of royal academy of music in 1988, knighted by the Queen of England in 1992, and awarded Lord for Life again at the end of 1996, and became a member of the House of Lords.
