Georgiana's Song?
What was the song that Georgiana requested and that they played later on when the ship started sinking?
share“Songe d' Automne” I believe.
share"Songe d' Automne" is believed to be the last song played by the Titanic's band, as is "Nearer, My God, To Thee."
Wireless Operator Harold Bride claimed that "Songe d' Automne" was the last song he heard the Titanic's band play. However, other survivors claimed that they heard "Nearer, My God, To Thee."
"Nearer, My God, To Thee" was the favorite hymn of Thomas Hartley, the leader of the Titanic's orchestra/band.
It was also the official hymn of the musicians' union, and all the musicians on the ship were members of the union.
"Nearer, My God, To Thee" is a rather simple song to play. "Song d' Automne" is much more difficult, especially if your fingers are numb from having played outside in freezing weather for quite a while.
Can you guess which song I believe the Titanic's band played before her deck became too steep to play?
