Interesting facts and trivia about Arthur Sullivan. By Songfacts®.

Arthur Seymour Sullivan was born in London, the son of a poor Irish musician. As a boy he was a soloist with the Chapel Royal choristers.

Sullivan's composing talents won him scholarships at the Royal Academy of Music in London and at the Leipzig Conservatory in Germany. His suite of incidental music to Shakespeare's The Tempest won him fame before he was 20.

Before he met W S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan was Victorian England's most famous composer of popular and sacred songs and oratorios. "Onward Christian Soldiers" is his best-known hymn; "The Lost Chord" is one of his most popular songs.
