A very brief excerpt from the London Standard concerning the bravery of the Titanic musicians:
“We are usually a undemonstrative people, but the incident of the string band of the Titanic, it’s members gathered together to play the hymn ‘Nearer My God to Thee,’ as the great ship settled for her last plunge, left men speechless with pity. It is a great incident of history, worthy to rank with the last parade on Birkenhead”
Attached you will also find the musical score and lyrics of “Nearer My God to Thee”.
