Richard & Roger,

There is an old song (Victorian) called "The Lost Chord" which tells of someone idling at the organ when he strikes one chord of music like the sound of a great amen. The song goes on to tell of his fruitless search to refind "that one lost chord divine which came from the soul of the organ and entered into mine".

I learned it from a John McCormack recording.
