The Lost Chord
|
|
One of the most popular of Victorian drawing-room songs, telling of a chord 'like the sound of a great Amen' which is accidentally played by an organist who can never again rediscover it. The poem, by Adelaide Ann Procter (1825–64), was set to music by Arthur *Sullivan in 1877, when he was mourning the death of his brother.
