The Lost Chord
by Arthur Sullivan, reprint of 1898 J Fischer edition
This is a new printing of the original edition on sturdy 80 pound acid-free paper. 12 pages. All markings are original. Sullivan is known primarily as the composer for the many Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, but he was also an organist! I believe The Lost Chord to be his most famous song, certainly the best known outside of the operettas. Highest quality guaranteed. Size of music is 12.5" x 9.5". $7.00.

Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900), is also known for his characteristic hymn tunes, many still in use, and sentimental songs. He was quite comfortable playing the organ, and for two years held two concurrent positions as organist/choirmaster! The Lost Chord is often played on the organ because the original, for voice and piano, clearly has the piano imitating the sounds of the organ. Although there have been many arrangements for organ through the years, this one was made during Sullivan’s lifetime by Reginald Barrett, an Englishman who lived in America. I include brief comments, the cover of the original sheet music, and some evocative postcards just for fun. This piece was high on the request list and is one of my personal favorites. Easy.
