Get Your Titanic Music on Freegal: Songs for the 101st Anniversary

Jazz musician Carl Wolff chose representative songs from the Titanic's playlist for this collection.
Musician and jazz composer Carl Wolf chooses several pieces of music that were popular in 1912 - ragtime, light classical, and waltzes - and groups them by the venue in which they were most likely played from a First-Class Dinner Dance to Tea in the Palm Court.

The Memphis Jazz Band, a strings-and-piano chamber group, performs such tunes as "The Maple Leaf Rag," "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "The Merry Widow Waltz," and "Blue Danube." The last selection is "Nearer My God to Thee," which was reported by some survivors to be the last piece played.

The whole album is available for free download on Freegal.
