Written at the deathbed of Arthur Sullivan's brother Fred in 1877 and setting words by Adelaide Anne Proctor, The Lost Chord was immediately successful and became the biggest sensation of any song in its decade. Of all thedrawing room ballads of the Victorian era, The Lost Chord has remained alive in the popular imagination. This arrangement for solo Organ is true to the original without overplaying its drama and restores the eponymous 'lostchord' to the Organ from whence it originally came. Composer Arthur Sullivan is known the world over for his operatic collaborations with W S Gilbert, including H M S Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, among many others. ButSullivan was also a composer of a host of other works , among them operas, Orchestral works, ballets, and hymns and church pieces.
