Many people sneer at this composition, but in truth it is a beautifully constructed and written song. Yes, the words are sentimental and somewhat nonsensical, but it was the genius of Arthur Sullivan which took Adelaide Proctor's words and turned them into a truly beautiful song that has effortlessly stood the test of time.

Excellent and historic. One man, one composition, one straight song but a whole myriad tonal underlay.

Doris Arnold did the arrangements for the Kentucky Minstrels. I have been unable to find recordings of two other of her masterpiece arrangements other than on 78 rpm 12 inch discs: namely 'The Lord is My Light' and 'Arise O Sun'. So good that there is still interest in this wonderful music in a world largely bankrupt of an appreciation for real music.

I haven't heard 'Arise, O Sun' for nigh on 50 years!! I can still largely remember it, however. There's so much lovely music from that era that went completely out of fashion, but seems to be making a welcome reappearance in the 21st century. Long may it continue to do so.

Wurlitzer 895. Was chuffed to read your response. Check out 'Arise, O Sun' sung by the Gresley Male Voice Choir here on KZitem. Sounds very much like the Doris Arnold arrangement. These Gents do a sterling job of it. You will not be disappointed!

@@jeffrey3895 Hi Jeffrey. Thank you for your generous response. Yes, I most certainly will do so, and I'm obliged to you for the recommendation. On the topic of 'The Lost Chord', I recall a slightly different lyric to Adelaide Proctor's first few lines: 'Seated one day at the organ I was weary and ill at ease, and my fingers wandered idly over my girlfriend's knees....'

Good performance. Too bad the recording itself was not better.

I had the pleasure of seeing Golda Resheuvel as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, and she was fantastic! Her performance of 'in this heart' was so incredibly moving.

Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys; I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen, Like the sound of a great Amen. It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life, It linked all the perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loth to cease; I have sought but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen.

I just saw a credit for Golda Rosheuvel in a Luther episode. Where was she born? Is that a Dutch surname? Afrikaans? She sure can sing!

Im Dutch and that sure sounds like a Dutch surname to me. On Wikipedia it says that she is Guyanese, so maybe Dutch ancestry, since the neighboring country (Surinam) was a Dutch colony. 🤷🏾♀️

This piece has been one that speaks to my soul more deeply than any other for most of my life. And the choral version is the most complex and layered. Thank you so much for this beautiful gift.

Delightful as with all Sullivan's compositions, and the resonant harmonisation also excellent.
