poser of the Lost Chord" Prof. Wheat
says
AproPos of the article in the Post

my clossmate. Sir Arthur Sullivan, kind
ly permit me to lay through your gene
rous columns and instrumentality this
laurelleaf upon his grave. When Arthur
Sullivan visited me in 1881. in my home
in Virginia, asked him what had in
spired the Lost Chord, his immortal
and best song. as knew it could not
have been born without inspiration. and
a sad one at that quote his reply
verbatim;
Leo, you know had for years longed
to put Adelaide Proctor's exquisite lines,
The Lost Chord, to music, but the in
spiration never came until my brother.
Fred. lay dying, while held his hand,
and listened to his fast ebbing breath.
when God mercifully sent that long sought
song into my heart, which then and
there noted down carefully, and as you
said, it is, by all odds, my best and dear
est song
He then played it on my orchestra or
gan, as 1 did by way of requiem last
Sunday in evening service, and only
pray God that he and I, and you all, may
hear that grand amen in heaven. Peace
to his ashes!"
