Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.802538 Composed by Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan. Arranged by AC van der Leeuwen & Peet du Toit. Contemporary. Score and parts. 13 pages. Peet du Toit #5771119. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802538). Composed in 1877 near the bedside of his brother, Fred, during the latter's last illness (died five days later), Arthur Sullivan produced an immediate success. It is his best-known song, although he has composed many other works as a prominent British composer. He admitted that none of his compositions later topped The Lost Chord. It is still performed today at many events, despite its hymn-like style.An early intermediate ensemble should be able to perform it, with as much musicality, insight, phrasing and technical ability as is required by this emotional piece.
