Titanic Medley - Sam Tet Wind Orchestra

Titanic Medley
Composed by James Horner
Arranged by Takashi Hoshide

Performed by Sam Tet Wind Orchestra
Conductor: Lam Chee Choong

There were a few moments of silence, then the solemn strains of the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" began drifting across the water. It was with a perhaps unintended irony that Hartley chose a hymn that pleaded for the mercy of the Almighty, as the ultimate material conceit of the Edwardian Age, the ship that "God Himself couldn't sink," ............
