in the summer of 1967, alan doggett, a family friend of the lloyd webbers who had assisted on "the likes of us" and who was the music teacher at the colet court school in london, commissioned lloyd webber and rice to write a piece for the school's choir. doggett requested a "pop cantata" along the lines of herbert chappell's "the daniel jazz" (1963) and michael hurd's "jonah-man jazz" (1966), both of which had been published by novello and were based on the old testament. the request for the new piece came with a 100-guinea advance from novello. this resulted in "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat", a retelling of the biblical story of joseph, in which lloyd webber and rice humorously pastiched a number of pop-music styles.
