And since the vast majority of the witnesses claimed that it actually WAS a hymn, then the last song was most likely the British version of "Nearer my God to thee", and NOT "Autumn."
@Johnonorgan Also keep in mind that Harold Bride could have easily mistook this song title for another song that countless other witnesses claimed they have heard played. Also keep in mind that "Autumn" is a waltz, and many of the other witnesses claimed they heard the hymn "Nearer my God to thee" (BRITISH version) being played as the last piece, especially since a hymn at the end would be much more fitting as a prayer for everyone still on board at that time..."
"I Understand this was actually the last song the string ensemble played on the Titanic..."
How do YOU know? Were you actually there? Only ONE PERSON testified that this was the song being played, and Harold Bride (that person) could have easily had song titles mixed up, especially since his knowledge of the outside world was limited on account that he was a wireless operator. After all, He was a trained meticulous observer with wireless equipment, NOT music.
I understand this was actually the last song the string ensemble played on the Titanic . Not the Hollywood idea! It is great played by the new white star orchestra
Is there any sheet music? I'll be more then grateful.
Regards!
