Oh, actually, I might have "The Lost Chord" somewhere! A collection on Decca of Sullivan works. Can't recall it, sorry! But note that the choir here is The Ambrosian Singers, heard earlier in this program:

They had limited tones to work with. When no tones were played a hissing sound was present like white noise on the tv when the show stopped airing. They used that hiss when a note/tone wasn't playing to act as the percussion.

↳ Listener Robert @7:22
Hi Robert - I had to answer when I had free hands and brain post-show and running the board.

The difficulty are the double stops (two notes on two strings), which are always difficult for intonation (on the viola can be especially awkard because of the size of the instrument, stretch of the hand required, not an acoustically perfect instrument), but here they also must be played in a way to make the melodic lines seamless and flow so the structure of the music is preserved.

This requires such delicacy and accuracy, and as a solo instrument, every detail of playing is very exposed.

Hope this answers your question.
