April 15, 1912, Monday: Passengers waiting to enter lifeboats are entertained by the Titanic's musicians, who initially play in the first-class lounge before eventually moving to the ship's deck.

Sources will differ on how long they perform—until shortly before the ship sinks, according to some. Speculation will also surround the last song they perform—likely either “Autumn” or “Nearer My God to Thee.”

The eight musicians who were part of the RMS Titanic band were booked in Liverpool, England through the company, C.W. & F.N. Black. They boarded the Titanic as second-class passengers at Southampton.

Until the night of the sinking, the band played in two separate groups. Wallace Hartley, was a violinist and the band leader of the five-piece ensemble that included John Law Hume, John Wesley Woodward, Percy Taylor, and John Preston Clarke. This quintet played at tea time, at after dinner concerts, and special occasions on board like Sunday services.

The trio of George Krins, Roger Bricoux, and Theodore Brailey played violin, cello, and piano, and could be heard playing during meals at the A La Carte Restaurant and the Cafe’ Parisien.

Their last song, however, was not agreed upon by all survivors. Some heard “Nearer My God to Thee”, whereas others said the last song heard was “Autumn”.

One second-class passenger account said of the band: “Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame.”

All eight band members perished in the sinking of the Titanic. A memorial to these eight heroes was placed in Southampton, England.
